A landmark in the development of maritime law, the Consolato del Mare is a digest of the law and practice commonly followed by the commercial judges in the chief ports around the Mediterranean, it became a maritime common law of the Mediterranean and a foundation for subsequent European maritime laws and customs. Its circulation was widest in Italy, especially among the Venetians, but it was also influential in Western Europe. In addition to maritime law, it contains a great deal of information about the day-to-day operations of a ship and practical advice on seafaring. This work was first published in Barcelona in 1484 in Catalan. The first edition in Castilian (standard Spanish) was published in 1539. It was superseded by Palleja's superior translation, which was the basis of later editions in Spanish. This copy from the library of of the early twentieth-century bibliophile, landowner, and civic leader Manuel Murtra of Torroella de Montgri (where a street is named after him) in Catalonia, Spain.
