This specific volume is the Placita principum seu constitutiones regni Neapolitani (The Decrees of Princes or Constitutions of the Kingdom of Naples). This is an essential compilation of the foundational legal decrees, statutory laws, and official constitutions that governed the Kingdom of Naples The Kingdom of Naples was a state in southern Italy from the medieval period to 1860, often politically connected with Sicily. In 1130, Roger II united Norman acquisitions and became king of Sicily and Apulia. The kingdom prospered under the Hohenstaufen emperors, becoming a centralized state and a commercial and cultural hub. Charles of Anjou moved the capital to Naples in 1266, but his rule led to Sicily's separation in 1282. Naples briefly prospered under King Robert (1309–43) but then faced dynastic disputes. In 1442, Alfonso V of Aragon united Naples and Sicily, calling it the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Under Spanish rule from 1504, Naples declined economically. After the War of the Spanish Succession, it came under the Austrian Habsburgs before Charles III of Spain conquered it in 1734. The Bourbon kings initiated reforms, but the French Revolution halted progress. In 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi's invasion led to Naples joining a unified Italy. https://www.britannica.com/place/Kingdom-of-Naples#ref1 I’ll gladly supply more photos upon request. eBay only permits a certain amount or I’d have more.
