Statuta de ludo

"Statuta de ludo...is a collection of laws to do with games, enacted by Italian city-states between the XIII and XVI centuries. It comprises around six hundred Latin and vernacular texts, a selection from the vast number of statutes produced in Italy...based on a survey carried out by several scholars in order to ensure that coverage of the geographical area and of all available editions...was as complete as possible."--P. 11.
