José María Antequera – History of Spanish Legislation from the Earliest Times to the Present Day. Second Edition. Madrid, A. Pérez Dubrull Printing House, 1884.

An important work by Spanish jurist and historian José María Antequera, regarded as one of the most comprehensive nineteenth-century studies on the historical development of Spanish law. Published in its second edition in 1884, the book traces the evolution of Spanish legislation from ancient times through the nineteenth century, providing a systematic account of the legal and institutional foundations of Spain.

The author examines Roman law, Visigothic legislation, medieval fueros, the Siete Partidas, the principal legal compilations of the Spanish monarchy and the nineteenth-century legislative reforms, offering a valuable historical perspective on the evolution of constitutional, civil and public law.
