Delle Leggi Romane: Abrogate, Inusitate E Corrette Nello Stato Pontificio E Altre Nazioni, Secondo L'ordine Delle Istituzioni Imperiali E Delle Pandette Di Giustiniano Libri LIV" by G. C. A. Rocchetti is a scholarly, non-narrative treatise that surveys how real guarantees—pledge and mortgage—function in ancient Roman law and in modern European practice. It articulates the formation, effects, and limits of pledges; the distinction between movable and immovable property; the role of tacite mortgages and the publication of registrations as substitutes for explicit conventions; and the priority order among secured creditors, with exceptions for taxes and special privileges. The text also examines subrogation and intercession mechanisms, forced sales, price distribution, and redemption, plus the impact of division among co-owners on existing mortgages and how sale and subrogation affect creditor rights. It details the objects and subjects involved, from properties (landed property, usufruct, movables, shares, ships) to jurists and modern interpreters, and contrasts ancient rules with later codes (Italian, French, Austrian, Swiss) and canon law. The work emphasizes publicity as a governing principle and provides a taxonomy of guarantees, their extinguishment, and related procedures for academic classification.
