I think it is a commentary on verses of the Book of Wisdom. The passages in smaller letters in centre of second photo are Wisdom 9.4, 9.5 and 9.10.

The 1473 suggestion beaten by one of Venice 1472. A collection of the works of the lawyer Lanfrancus de Oriano (d1488) and others - data.cerl.org/ISTC/il00057... (it’s fun to reacquaint with this early law bibliography which I used to need to study quite a lot).

I have found a living author printed in 1473. Tartagnus, Alexander:
Super secunda parte Digesti veteris cum apostillis (Venice, Andreas Portilia). The dates of the lawyer Tartagnus (Tartagni) are 1424-1477. There may be earlier printed living authors.
