Provincial Law of the Kingdom of Prussia is a 7 volume legal code, a collection of the laws of the Duchy of Prussia. In 1525–1657, the Duchy of Prussia was a subordinate fief to the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Preparation of the code was overseen by the Kurfürst of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia Johan Sigismund (1572–1619), whose portrait is on the title page. The book is bound with the Legal Code of the Province of Prussia (Index juris provincialis Prutenici) by professor of the University of Königsberg and jurist Andreas Crebs (1591–1623), published in Königsberg in 1624, and the Privileges in the Duchy of Prussia (Privilegia der Stände deß Hertzogthumbs Preussen), which was published in 1616 in Braunsberg (modern Braniewo).
