Original red cloth-backed boards printed paper label on spine. FIRST EDITION number 1399 of 2000 copies. With a fine provenance: From the collection of David W. Young who bought the "Goding" Amati that is described herein. Young inscribes the front flyleaf: "This rare book purchased from R. Wurlitzer in year 1961 at time I obtained the 'Goding' Amati violin of 1662 from Lyon & Healy. - signed - David W. Young at 18508 Clyde Ave. Homewood Ill U.S.A." Another similar inscription appears on another flyleaf. The "Goding" Amati is described in the catalogue on p. 48 within the broader historical context of the famous Cremonese violin makers: "The Goding Amati is covered with a coating of magnificent varnish of a golden brown color the texture of which is soft; and the evenness of skill of its application invokes the admiration of the connoisseur at a glance. It formed a part of the famous James Goding collection to which the King Joseph Guarneri also belonged." Hawley's collection was a veritable encyclopedia of classical violin making. Lyon & Healy acquired the collection in total after his death in 1893 and published this catalogue which established their reputation as America's eminent dealer at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. The remainder of the catalogue includes images and texts about instruments by Stradivari the Healy and the Earl Guarneri del Gesu King Joseph and Jarnowick Maggini Bergonzi Rogeri Guadagnini Joseph filius Andrea Guarneri Stainer and Lupot.

The only edition of this essential record of mercantile law. Strategically located at the confluence of the Rhone and Saone Lyon emerged as the premier trading artery of Renaissance France. By the late 15th century the influence of Italian merchant-bankers had transformed the city into the kingdom's financial heart. Because of this immense economic gravity-and the resulting envy from rival cities and shifting royal whims-the city's magistrates were fastidious in documenting their autonomy. Privileges serves as both a practical legal handbook and a formidable political manifesto. It provides a chronological compilation of royal decrees judicial orders and municipal privileges granted to the Lyon fairs between 1349 and 1563. It is a primary source for understanding the evolution of international trade law the protection of foreign merchants and the formalization of "Lex Mercatoria" Merchant Law in early modern Europe.
