Ludvig Holberg (1684 - 1754) var forfatter og en av de helt sentrale personene i det litter re milj et i Danmark-Norge i f rste halvdel av 1700-tallet. Han er i dag s rlig kjent for sine komedier, som ofte preges av bitende satire, men var ogs viktig som historiograf og moralfilosofisk essayist. Denne boken er en nyutgivelse av Ludvig Holbergs verk Den Ber mmelige Norske Handel-Stad Bergens Beskrivelse utgitt i 1737. Holberg hadde skaffet seg et manuskript av historikeren Edvard Edvardsen med et vell av informasjon om Bergens historie. Holberg hentet ut det viktigste, og la til opplevelser fra egen oppvekst. Holberg gir i denne boken en utmerket karakteristikk av forskjellige bergenske forhold p denne tiden. Denne utgivelsen f lger f rsteutgaven fra 1737 med 1700-tallets danske skriftspr k. For gj re teksten lettere tilgjengelig er bokens originale gotiske skrift konvertert til dagens norske skriftstil.

Rettskunnskap (Naturens og folkerettens kunnskap, basert på Grotius, Pufendorf og Thomasius, utgitt første gang i 1716) foreligger for aller første gang i norsk språkdrakt. Boken ble Ludvig Holbergs (1684-1754) største salgssuksess. Konflikter mellom mennesker, slik som grenser for selvforsvar og eiendomsrett, var like store stridsspørsmål på Holbergs tid som i dag. Sentrale temaer er grensene for ulike typer herredømme - slik som husfedres herredømme over sin familie og statsmaktens herredømme over borgerne og deres eiendom. Andre viktige deler av boken er krigens og diplomaters rett, samt et riss over moraltenkningens historie fra antikken og frem til Holbergs tid. Verket preget den alminnelige rettsbevissthet i Danmark-Norge på 1700-tallet. Med datidens sekulære naturrettsideer som fundament, satte verket i de påfølgende tiår fart på debattene om kongens, adelens, laugsvesenets og presteskapets makt. Verket inspirerte til kampene for større individuell frihet i Danmark og for Norges selvstendighet i 1814. Boken inneholder normer og verdier som også snakker til vår tid hvor meningene om rett og moral og statsmaktens grenser er omstridte som aldri før.
