Fr. 22071 n°28 Citation: Simon Marion's plea on privileges (1586), Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900), eds L. Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Record-ID: f_1586 Full title Second plea concerning the printing of the "Works of Seneca", revised and annotated by the late Marc Antoine de Muret Full title original language Plaidoyez second sur l'impression des Oeuvres de Seneque, reveues & annotées par feu Marc Antoine de Muret Abstract It is not easy to find theoretical statements about the legal interests of the author in his work for the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, although in practice authors could eventually count on receiving some form of remuneration in exchange for the transfer of their original manuscript, especially from the end of the sixteenth century onwards. Simon Marion's plea before the Parlement of Paris (the supreme judicial court of the ancien régime) is often cited as the first explicit apprehension of the author's right, that is, as a right specific to him, deriving from his own labour and, in particular, the absolute right to communicate his work freely to the public. Although the reasons for which Marion won his case for his clients remain enigmatic, this famous judicial decision has also been referred to as a first step towards the recognition of literary property.
