Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Disputatio Historico-Juridica De Origine Et Fontibus Legum XII Tabularum
Caeterum quaestio mihi pertinere tantum visa est ad X priores tabulas'; nam licet, si leges Graecas descri pserunt leg�ti, secundi uti primi anni Decemviri iis uti potuerunt tota tamen Decemv�ratus historia aliud mihi indicare videtur. Causa cur Decemviri iterum cre'zi rentur, et duae posteriores tabulae adjicerentur, tum pr�rorum Decemvirorum fuit ambitio tum universe patriciorum fraudes, qui tribunorum pleb�s potestatem jam abrogatam restitui nolebant Bevera leges non defuisse vel potins patricios non ideo iterum creati voluisse Decemviros, ut, quae deessent, supplerentur, vel illud solum probat, quod leges, quas prioribus addi detant prorsas iniquae fuerunt unde eas magis e Decemv�rorum libidine flux�sse quam e patriis mori bus aut peregrini populi institutis petitas fuisse, nitro patet.
