(Estr. T. 18). Dedication to the Senate of Danzig. Brief commentary on Justinian's institution. The offered work is a continuation of "Examen institutionum imperialium" ("Examen institutionum imperialium"), in which the author refers especially to the issue of freedom of navigation - very important for the port city of Danzig, which lived from the port trade. Joachim Hoppe (1656-1712) - Danzig citizen, lawyer and mayor of Danzig. Hoppe headed a Danzig delegation sent in 1704 to Malbork for negotiations with Polish King August II Wettin in connection with the bicentennial and Danzig's previous support for Stanislaw Leszczynski. Thanks to Hoppe's efforts, the monarch agreed to accept Gdansk into his good graces and reconfirmed its rights and privileges. He was the author of a number of scholarly works on law, but it was the aforementioned "Study of Imperial Institutions" that brought him the greatest fame. Good condition, note on title page, traces of non-staining, rubbing of binding.
