BECCARIA, Cesare (1738-1794). Dei delitti e delle pene. [Livorno: Tipografia Coltellini], 1764.
First edition of ‘one of the most influential works in the whole history of criminology’ (PMM). On Crimes and Punishments ‘significantly shaped the views of American revolutionaries and lawmakers’ (Bessler). ‘Beccaria maintained that the gravity of the crime should be measured by its injury to society and that the penalties should be related to this. The prevention of the crime he held to be of greater importance than its punishment, and the certainty of punishment of greater effect than its severity. [His] ideas have now become so commonplace that it is difficult to appreciate their revolutionary impact at the time (PMM). Bessler, ‘The Italian Enlightenment and the American Revolution’, Journal of Public Law and Policy, vol. 37; Einaudi 380; PMM 209.
Quarto (218 x 158mm). Engraved title device (some spotting, heaviest in gatherings K-L). Contemporary marbled boards (spine rubbed); modern cloth solander box.
