Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how leguleyo appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Hace cosa de dos años que el gobierno de Francia, aburrido ya y fastidiado de no poder encontrar el medio de dar una buena ley de imprentas, trató de enviar a Inglaterra un cierto número de magistrados para que estudiasen la legislación inglesa sobre este punto. Ignoro si llegaron a verificar el tal viaje, pero hubiera sido muy gracioso ver a los señores…
Ese, el comentador, tú lo dijiste; Ese á legislador ó juez se eleva; A ley su decision, tal vez contraria A lo que el texto literal enseña; Ese la grave majestad usurpa, Y vosotros correis á su bandera. De aquí el perpétuo cavilar, enredos, Fraudes y zancadillas leguleyas.
