Description
AMUSING PORTABLE EDITION OF JUSTINIAN'S INSTITUTIONS
ONLY ONE COPY IN USA
Justinianus. Imperatoris Justiniani institutionum libri quatuor. Adjecti sunt ex Digestis Tituli de verborum significatione, & de Regulis Juris [...] Patavii, Typis Seminarii, Apud Ioannem Manfrè, 1754.
12mo (145x77 mm), red paperboard, sepia ink handwritten titles on red paper label, pp. 262 [missing last blank]. Xylographic head-letters and decorations at preliminary leaves.
Uncommon edition of Justinian's Institutiones in pocket size, to be used by professor, students and lawyers.
In the same period in which it had started the Law reorganization in the Pandectae, Justinian asked the jurists Trebonianus, Theophilus e Dorotheus to create a manual that summarized the items of the Roman Law to be used by the students of the Empire. The Institutiones remained, along the centuries, a cornerstone of the matter because of the clarity and completeness, and for that reasons were utilized by the most important scholars as a skeleton to build their own commentary on it.
The text is followed by two indexes, quoting the specific terms used and the paragraphs where to find the definitions of the basic rules or Roman law.
References: IT\ICCU\TO0E\045911 (only four copies in Italian public libraries). OCLC 799215709 locates only 1 copie in USA (Yale).
