No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The work is a specialized academic legal disputation (disputatio) from the University of Tübingen, presided over by Christoph Besold with Christoph Forstner as respondent. Extensive searches in scholarly catalogs and digital libraries confirm the existence of the Latin original (1615/1616) but reveal no evidence of any English translation. Such technical 17th-century legal theses were intended for a Latin-speaking academic audience and were rarely translated into vernacular languages.

Step into the high-stakes world of 17th-century criminal law, where Roman tradition clashes with the dawn of rational justice. Christophorus Forstner’s provocative treatise challenges the 'madness' of superstitious trials and judicial torture, asking how a sovereign can balance absolute power with the innate laws of nature.
