Lex secunda de origine juris in qua in primis juris origo : deinde Romanorum magistratus : preterea legum auctores continentur. Pomponius.
A 1510 Paris legal treatise by Pomponius, printed by Thomas Kees and linked to the humanist poet Publio Fausto Andrelini, written for students and scholars of Roman law. Its single framed woodcut shows a seated, bearded scholar in a long robed gown writing at a lectern beneath a classical arcade with a columned niche, a statue, and a stone urn at left, with a Latin verse caption above; a designer might borrow its tight architectural framing and the dignified, study-focused pose for scholarly or historical subjects.
