1534 RARE EDITION ON JURISPRUDENCE, LAW, LEGAL SYSTEMS, CIVIL PROCEDURES, CRIMINAL TRIALS by Lanfranco da Oriano also known as Lanfrancus de Oriano (c.1398–1488), was an Italian jurist, university professor and chief magistrate of the 15th century. This book "Practica Lanfranci" (Lanfranco's Practice), printed in Lyon in 1534 by the Giunti press, is a highly influential Renaissance-era legal manual detailing court procedures. It served as an essential, everyday reference book for judges, lawyers, and notaries operating under Roman and canon law across Europe. This is a treatise on judicial practice that enables a judge to thwart the ruses and stratagems employed by lawyers, and allows a lawyer to neutralize those used by the opposing side. It serves as an indispensable guide for anyone practicing in the legal profession, given the wealth of specific cases and everyday issues it contains—as evidenced by the extensive alphabetical index of cases and solutions that follows immediately after the title. The work is enriched by the annotations of distinguished jurists such as; A)Benedetto Vadi of Fossombrone, (15–16th century), served as a legal counsel to the Dukes of Urbino from 1480 to 1530. B)Hugo de Celso, also known in French as Celse-Hugues Descousu (c.1481–1544), was a notable jurist and writer.

He was a legal scholar and professor of law in Padova; he authored well-regarded works on procedural law. He was born around in the territory of Brescia, studied in Pavia, where he was a student of Pietro Besozzi, latinized Petrus de Bexutio, and earned a doctorate in *utroque iure* (both civil and canon law). Around 1450, he was in Padova, where he held public offices while also beginning to teach at the university. In 1455, he moved briefly to Trento to serve as *podestà* chief magistrate. Shortly thereafter, he relocated to Ferrara, where he served as an extraordinary professor of canon law at the university between 1456 and 1457; he then returned to Padua to teach the same subject from 1459 to 1463. The numerous treatises written by Lanfranco da Oriano span both civil and canon law, with a particular focus on procedural law. He died in 1488 in Brescia and was buried in the city's cathedral.
