I haven’t counted if they are all there but it seems like someone has left all 26 volumes. Not sure if they have any value but they are pretty old.

    Sort of need the title page to be certain but they appear to be 1804 edition of “digest or the pandectes or the emperor Justinine” Complete in 50 books although could be bound in various combinations of volumes. TBH not sure how desirable they are, I only really deal in English , Latin and Greek texts so a little out of my orbit. BTW Pandectes means ,or at least can mean, law of everything , and these books are basically Roman law from the mid 500AD. It seems to me that because they are dis-bound the cost of binding would be more than the value of the set if complete but as I said not exactly my area of expertise

      Thanks for your comments! I think you’re spot on with the identification. These books have one page in Latin, and one in French. I still need to count how many of them I have in the box, I got distracted with the other ones I found in there
