Jean-Wolfgang Freymon

Jean-Wolfgang Freymon , German jurisconsult, born with Oberhausen in Bavaria.

It was accepted doctor with Ingolstadt in 1572; assessor of the court of the imperial room in 1575, and adviser of empire in 1581. It fulfills also some diplomatic missions near the voters of Saxony and Brandebourg.

Freymon is author of the following works:

Enchiridion L. DC. ex principiis contractuum, ultimarum voluntatum and judiciorum materiis congeslum , Frankfurt;
Schematismorum of processu libri duet , Ingolstadt, 1570;
Observationum juridicarum crepundia , Munich, 1576, in-8°;
Elenchus omnium scriptorum which in juretum civili quam canonico, vel commentando vel quibuscumque modis explicando and it usque AD nostram cetatem claruerunt, nominated and monumenta complectens , Frankfurt, 1579, in-4°. The first edition had appeared with the same place, in 1574. This species of library is a reprinting of the catalog published by Ziletti (Jean-Baptiste), with Venice, in 1558, under the title Index librorum omnium juris tam pontifidi quam Cœsarei , and successively increased by the care of Gomès, Fichard and Nevizan. Freymon benefitted from their work without its work gaining much there. This Elenchus is written by titles, under each one whose are arranged old and extremely forgotten books today all fort, and whose Freymon did not even have the care to indicate the editions. However it still deserves to be consulted, because one finds there two small essays extremely curious about Jean Nevizani, author of the Syloa Nuptialis , on the means of decreasing the number of the printed books, and on the question of knowing if it is important to have many books.
utriusque Symphonia juris chronologica , Frankfurt, 1574, in-fol. This work passes for the best of all those of Freymon, though the author had only twenty-seven years when it wrote it. It is a chronological list of the jurisconsults and principal laws contained in the body of right, lists had by Olympiads with the agreement of the Roman years and Christian era. It is annoying that it does not extend beyond Justinien. An extract of this work, with regard to the laws of the Code, was joined together with a similar work made by Jacques the Bollard and Antonio Agustín, on the laws of the Digeste , in the Indices juris varii , printed with Geneva, in 1585, in-8°.

Abraham Wieling made use also much of the work of Freymon in its Jurisprudentia restituta, seu Index chronologicus in totum juris Justinianei corpus , Amsterdam, 1727, in-8°.
