Antonio Gomez (1501-1572), professor of law at the Universidad de 
Salamanca, was perhaps the most important jurist of his time and was 
part of the Spanish legal school -including Francisco de Vitoria, 
Domingo de Soto, and Francisco Suarez-  which attempted to reconcile 
both human and natural law with the fundamental tenets of the 
Catholic theology.

Scarce. OCLC and RLIN show only 6 copies of this early edition.

Bookplate of Michael J. O'Farrell, the first Bishop of the Diocese of 
Trenton on the free front endpaper with an institutional bookplate
