De Delictis et Poenis Tractatus Absolutissimus (The Most Absolute Treatise of Crime and Punishment) is a criminal codex by Italian Franciscan Sinistrari first published in 1700.

The old orthodox view of sexual offenses, as of a few hundred years ago, was set out at length in a massive 1700 work De delictis, et poenis (On crimes and punishment). De Sodomia was a chapter in this book.

In 1688, when he was 66, the Friars Minor selected Sinistrari to draw up a criminal code for their community. He labored for a dozen years, finally publishing the De Delictis et Poenis Tractatus Absolutissimus (The Most Absolute Treatise of Crime and Punishment) in 1700, a year before his death.
