A Wne unsophisticated copy of an incunable edition of the Wrst printed book to deal with economics. Platea’s Opus restitutionum, Wrst printed in 1472 is susanne schulz-falster rare books
the Wrst, and earliest, book in the Goldsmiths’ and Kress catalogues respectively. Platea, (also known as Fra Francesco Piazza) (?–1460), a Professor of law at the University of Bologna and a well-known and acclaimed preacher, includes a detailed discussion of monetary questions, the taking of interest and usury in this treatise on canon law. The Wrst part of the Opus Restitutionum deals with the return of illicit gains. Also discussed are commercial transactions under a variety of diVerent legal circumstances, such as two creditors competing for the spoils of one debtor. The second part concentrates on usury, which, as in all canon law, denotes not just high interest but all interest. Platea is Wrmly aligned within the church authorities in his condemnation of usury. The Wnal section, De Excommunicationes deals with the judicial exclusion of oVenders from the rights and privileges of the Christian community. The printers de Colonia and Mathen had already published an earlier edition of Platea’s popular work in 1474.
