Contemporary Russian mottled calf, marbled endpapers; pp. [iv], 138, [14], spine with some loss and wear; light spotting internally, a good copy; provenance: early 20th-century collector's stamp Aleksandr Ivanovich Ivanov to title-page and beginning of text, early 1960s Russian bookseller's stamp to rear fly-leaf.
This is the Law Code of Ivan Vasilievich. Ivan IV's reform of the law code shifted power from the aristocracy to State and local institutions and introduced a conscription army.
