José María Antequera – History of Spanish Legislation from the Earliest Times to the Present Era. Madrid: Imprenta de los Señores Martínez y Minuesa, 1849.

An important nineteenth-century legal and historical work by the distinguished Spanish jurist José María Antequera, regarded as one of the earliest comprehensive studies on the development of Spanish law. Published in 1849, it traces the evolution of Spanish legislation from Roman Hispania through the nineteenth century, making it a landmark in the historiography of Spanish legal institutions.

The volume examines the principal legal sources of each historical period, including Roman law, Visigothic legislation, medieval fueros, the Siete Partidas, the Nueva Recopilación, the Novísima Recopilación, and modern legislative reforms. It remains a valuable reference for scholars of legal history and comparative law.

An excellent acquisition for collectors of antiquarian legal books, academic libraries, and researchers specializing in Spanish legal history.
