AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very rare edition of this major legal work that gathers and arranges the edicts of Emperor Justinian, a central figure of late Roman law -
This collection illustrates the Renaissance's humanist and scholarly will to rediscover, preserve, and disseminate the ancient sources of law, presenting them in a carefully prepared edition accessible to European jurists.
The work bears witness to the importance accorded to Justinian in the Western legal tradition, its corpus having served as the foundation for the development of modern civil law -
This volume from the late 16th century thus constitutes a precious witness to the scholarly transmission of imperial legislative texts, sought after by collectors and legal historians for its rare blend of legal authority, historical value, and material beauty -
