MORGUES Les statuts et coustumes du pays de Provence. Aix, David, 1658. In-4°, title - 3ffnch - 450 pp and 9 ffnch of tables (title doubled and remounted, frontispiece missing, worm galleries). Bound in full brown basane, spine with 4 raised bands decorated with small-ink fleurons, gilt title. Jacques Morgues was a lawyer and jurisconsult in Aix-en-Provence. Among the choice subjects contained in this coutumier, we cannot fail to smile at the following articles: That there are no pimps in Provence; that all harmful games are prohibited; that foreign wine will only be brought to the city of Aix if the millerolle sells for two francs.
