Convolute of 4 works prints from the early phase of the Thirty Years' War, including commentaries on constitutional and canon law, and pamphlet. The publications are connected, among other things, with the imposition of the imperial ban, issued in 1621 by Ferdinand II (Holy Roman Emperor from 1619) against Frederick V (1596-1632; Count Palatine and Elector Palatine and, as Frederick I, King of Bohemia from 1619 to 1620), stripping the latter of all his princely dignities, including his electorship. I- Benedikt Carpzov the Younger (27 May 1595, Wittenberg - 30 August 1666, Leipzig) was a German criminal lawyer and a witchcraft theoretician who wrote extensively on witch processes. He was the son of Benedikt Carpzov the Elder, a renowned lawyer. He studied first philosophy and jurisprudence at the University of Wittenberg, but he eventually focused on law, continuing his studies at the Universities of Leipzig and Jena. He worked at the Court of Appeals in Leipzig and became later Councillor at the Appeal Court. He played an important role in establishing an independent German legal system; his most famous work is the Practica nova Imperialis Saxonica rerum criminalium, in which he outlined backgrounds of the criminal law and criminal procedure law. II- Christoph Gewold a German jurist and historian, was born in Amberg. In 1588, he moved to the Bavarian court in Munich as court secretary for court and legal matters; he was appointed court councillor in 1591, actual court councillor in 1594 and in 1595 he obtained the position of privy council secretary and head of the ducal archives. In 1617 Gewold resigned from all offices in 1617 and moved back to Ingolstadt, where he mainly devoted himself to his historical, political and scientific works, even though he was also frequently called to Munich for consultations. IV- Von Rusdorf was a German statesman and diplomat. In 1619 he was in Palatinate, where the elector appointed him a member of the highest court of the land with the rank of councillor and, some time later, promoted him to extraordinary member of the state council. This was the critical period in which Palatinate politics realised the fateful turn towards the Bohemian crown, events that that determined the further course of Rusdorf's life. In the service of this policy and its consequences for the electoral house, he unchangingly and tirelessly placed his statesmanlike and publicistic talent at the disposal of the electorate. Frederick’s brief reign as king of Bohemia ended with his defeat at the Battle of White Mountain on 8 November 1620, followed by his resignation; when the resignation took place Rusdorf appeared for the first time as a publicist and tried to prove the illegitimacy of the declaration in a pamphlet (ADB).
