This Catholic work 'Theological Institutions' by Juenin (1650-1713), was banned in 1708 by Pope Clement IX; CHOPPIN, RENE - MONASTICON, SEU DE JURE COENOBITARUM EDITIO NOVISSIMA. Frankfurt, Franciscum Varrentrapp, 1744. Folio, half-title, bound in full vellum, manuscript lettering to spine. Choppin (1537-1606) was one of the later exponents of French customary law as it developed in the 16th and 17th centuries. Given his anti-Calvin view of the political world and the church, his works were attacked by Francois Hotman, who allied himself with Calvin and the Geneva reformers (3)
