The two titles in this book, both rare, are an edition of the Tripartitum, with anonymous notes, and an analytical commentary on, to cite its title, 100 "controversial" and "doubtful" points in that work. Compiled by Werboczy and presented to the Diet of Hungary in 1514, the Tripartitum was the first to provide a distillation of Hungarian customary law. It aimed, for the most part, to enumerate the rights of the Hungarian nobility, mostly in respect to lands its members held, and outline the principles of Hungarian procedural law. The work was prefaced by a prologue that drew on a largely unidentified array of canonical and civilian texts. It was first published in 1517. Though never an official work, it was the basis of Hungarian law until 1848, and some of its passages were retained in later collections of Hungarian law. The annotated Tripartitum was first published in 1700, its final edition in 1822. The Centuria Certarum was first published in 1619 with later editions, some incorporated into editions of the Tripartitum, into the 1800s. OCLC locates 4 copies of the 1762 Tripartitum and 3 copies of the 1764 Centuria Certarum; it locates a volume. Codice articolo 77421
