The work is a 17th-century academic legal disputation (a common genre of the period) by Jacob Brandmüller, published in Basel in 1654. Such ephemeral academic exercises were typically printed in very limited quantities for the specific event and were rarely, if ever, translated into English. Extensive searches across major catalogs (including UNESCO, HathiTrust, and general library databases) yielded no evidence of any English translation, complete or partial, for this specific text.
