Dieterichs Collection Book

Judicium criminale practicum, fere novum by Petrus Theodoricus. Jena, 1671. The additional engraved title-page displayed is signed 'Christian Romstet sculp:' Illustrated title-pages were valued not only for their decorative value, but because they were produced separately from the book and could be circulated individually as an advertisement. Christian Romstet (1640-1721) was born in Weimar and was active as an engraver in Leipzig from 1671.
