= Bibl. Belgica D42; Belgica Typographica 800; Dekkers 44,4, note. The extremely rare first Dutch edition of this beautifully illustrated work. Heijnsbergen p.24: "Het belangrijkste van zijn geschriften is de Practica rerum criminalium. (...) Hoewel hij een trouw aanhanger van R.K. kerk was, werd zijn werk in 1625 op den index geplaatst. Het boek is vooral gewijd aan het strafprocesrecht en bijzondere delicten, minder aan algemeene leerstukken. (...) Voor de beschavingsgeschiedenis heeft het werk groot belang, omdat de schrijver meer geeft dan recht: hij vermeldt ook rechtstoepassing en maakt gewag van sociale toestanden, gebreken en misdadige verschijnselen in zijn tijd. Maar vooral ligt zijn beteekenis in den grooten invloed, die van zijn werk is uitgegaan op de rechtsstudie en rechtstoepassing. (...) Nog steeds is het de groote bron, waaruit de beoefenaar van de rechtsgeschiedenis put om theorie en practijk van het strafrecht in het midden der 16de eeuw te leeren kennen." The woodcuts may be considered a unique contribution to the historical iconography of 16th century criminal justice. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXX.
