THE SEVEN PARTIDAS OF KING ALFONSO THE WISE. Royal Academy of History. Royal Printing Office, Madrid, 1807. Three volumes: 1st (524 pages), 2nd (834 pages) and 3rd (795 pages). Hardcover binding, contains a beautiful engraving of the monarch Alfonso X the Wise, as well as some foldouts. In very good condition.

Written during the time of Alfonso X, it took its current name around the 14th century, since it was previously called the "Book of Laws." This work is considered one of the most important legacies of Castile to the history of Law, being the legal body with the widest and longest validity in Spain and Latin America (until the 19th century AD). It has even been described as a "humanist encyclopedia", since it deals with philosophical, moral and theological subjects (of Greco-Latin origin), although the text itself confirms the legislative nature of the work, indicating in the prologue that it was dictated in view of the confusion and abundance of regulations and only so that they could be judged by them.
