By the 18th century, hundreds of laws governing silversmithing in France had been enacted. Many had become outdated or were no longer enforced. The master smith Pierre Le Roy codified, for the first time ever, all of the applicable regulations into a single volume. Originally compiled in 1734, the book was revised in 1759, and it is this definitive version that is published here in a facsimile edition.
