Glossary : bona
Definition 1
goods and chattels. In the Roman law, it signifies every kind of
property, real, personal, and mixed, but chiefly it was applied to real
estates, chattels being chiefly distinguished by the words, effects,
movables, &c. Bona were, however, divided into bona mobilia, and bona
immobilia. It is taken in the civil law in nearly the sense of biens (q.
v.) in the French law.
