Codice Giustiniano - Codex Justinianeus (Codice di Giustiniano), specificamente il "LIBER SEPTIMVS". - 1570

Codicis Domini Iustiniani (Codex of Justinian), specifically the "Liber Septimus". The Codex Justinianus (Codex Iustinianus) is a collection of imperial laws issued by Roman emperors, compiled by order of the Eastern Emperor Justinian I between 529 and 534, and represents one of the four parts of the monumental Corpus Iuris Civilis, the great compendium of Roman law that also includes the Digest, the Institutes, and the Novels. The Codex aimed to reorder and systematize imperial legislation, creating a legal foundation that would become the basis of European customary law for centuries, influencing modern codes such as the Napoleonic Code.
The printed copy from 1570 belonged, as indicated by the handwritten inscription on the first page, to the noble Jean Countant, a lawyer in Lyon.
An interesting section of the book recounts the calculations and the conclusions of Antonio Conti's chronological canons. The author notes that the printing year 1570 AD corresponds to 7078 from the creation of the world according to the Greek cycle.
The work, although it shows signs of wear, is in good condition and contains various marginal notes and the annotations of its owner, a lawyer.
