Reprint of the fifth edition which was the last published during the author's lifetime. As Cowley pointed out the New Law-Dictionary first edition 1729 was both Jacob's masterpiece and "an entirely new departure in legal literature" that provided a model for several subsequent efforts. In contrast to earlier works each entry summarizes all of the laws relating to the subject and offers extensive interpretive commentary. Jacob 1686-1744 was also careful to omit obsolete terms. It was recognized almost immediately that Jacob had created a highly useful legal encyclopedia that was both more detailed and concise than any other abridgment of the period. An extremely popular work that went through twelve editions by 1800 it offers unparalleled insights into Anglo-American law during the eighteenth century.

Rear cover with minor soiling first leaf tipped onto tab and with repairs along gutter first two leaves a bit soiled and foxed last two leaves with neat old repairs to lower fore-edge corner the text as a whole with slight softening because of exposure to damp. Not without obvious defects but still an incunable appealing for its content rarity and provenance as well as for its generous margins and unworn binding. One of just three copies in North America located by ISTC this is the extremely rare Blaubeuren edition of a work that offers guidance on dealing with ghostly apparitions a topic not often dealt with in incunabular printing. "On Souls Stripped of their Bodies or On the Apparitions and Receptacles of Souls" was written in the late 1450s in response to a plea for advice from a Franciscan monastery in Leipzig that was experiencing what appeared to be supernatural disturbances instigated by a ghost or demon. A Carthusian prior who also served as rector and professor of canon law at the University of Erfurt Jacobus de Clusa also known as Jacob of Jüterbogk or Jacob of Paradiso 1381-1465 was known for his numerous writings on moral theology. First issued in 1475 in German and in Latin the present response to the concerned Franciscans became the most widely read of his works. According to Wetzer & Welte Jacobus considers in the book "such apparitions to be quite possible particularly in places where the deceased had sinned as they may hope to be released from Purgatory sooner through the intercession of surviving relatives or friends. Consequently he offers advice to the latter on this matter. 'If souls ask for intercession' he says 'it should be granted but one must not give way to idle fantasies.' He identifies the most effective means of aid as: Masses almsgiving prayers fasting and good works. In this context he discusses the state of the soul after death in a clear and illuminating manner. 'Immediately after death' he states 'the particular judgment takes place at the very spot where death occurred; for God is everywhere.' He designates four places to which departed souls may go: a. the Empyrean Heaven; b. the underworld "infernus sub terra"; c. Limbo of the Infants "limbus puerorum"; d. Purgatory. In his view escaping Purgatory entirely is very difficult." This open discussion of what happens to the soul after death and the possibility of the existence of ghosts was unsurprisingly appealing to a wide audience particularly as it came from a respected theologian. ISTC indicates that ours is the second incunabular edition following the first printing in Esslingen ca. 1474--all early printings are now uncommon in commerce. This is one of 24 works issued between 1473 and 1478 by Conrad Mancz the only 15th century printer in Blaubeuren a small city near Ulm. Jacobus de Clusa was the author of three of these publications the other two being books of sermons. Our copy was owned by Philadelphia bibliophile Boies Penrose II 1902-76 before its acquisition by Eric Hyde Lord Sexton 1902-80 an avid collector of early printing who amassed a library of incunabula from 114 different printing locations. This volume sold at his 1981 sale at Christie's for $2200. ISTC identifies the Sexton copy as one of three in North America the others being at the Huntington and the Beinecke. Searches of RBH and ABSA find just one other copy of the Blaubeuren edition at auction since 1928 that one appearing at Doerling in 1981 where it fetched 6500 Deutsche marks $2879.
