All the parts were published together—compiled by the editors—and bound into a single volume. The significance of Groicki’s works is well captured in the preface to the 1953 reprint of *The Order of Courts*: “Groicki’s works on municipal law […] are not merely commentaries. In the absence of a codification of municipal and rural law, they were regarded in municipal and rural courts with the same authority as statutes, and judgments were based on them. The importance and popularity of these works […] are evidenced by the fact that they were reprinted numerous times throughout the 17th century and even into the 18th century.”

A rare edition in a complete, beautifully preserved copy—despite some localized discoloration of the pages—in a leather bibliophile binding.
