Celso, Hugo de, Doctor Aguilera and Doctor Victoria

This book is the work of Hugo de Celso (ca.1481-ca.1544), an author who led an eventful life, whose most important moments can be partially reconstructed thanks to his own statements before the Inquisition. This is his most important work, continuing a legal tradition inherited from Roman times and from which other examples exist in Spanish legal literature. However, none of the existing works had as much acceptance as the Repertory of Celso, of which various editions were made, such as the one at hand, corrected and augmented by Andrés Martínez de Burgos and published in Medina del Campo in 1553. The princeps edition first appeared in Valladolid, in 1538, sponsored by the bookseller Claudius Tupin and reprinted two years later, in Alcalá de Henares. It is the most complete and detailed dictionary, whose purpose was to facilitate the Knowledge, study and consultation of the current Castilian legislation; In addition, its author includes items of private law and transcribes the legal texts on which it is based.
