The Corpus Iuris Civilis or the Justinian Code was the result of Emperor Justinians desire that existing Roman law be collected into a simple and clear system of laws or code. Tribonian a legal minister under Justinian lead a group of scholars in an effort to codify existing Roman law. The result was the first Justinian Code completed in 529. This code was later expanded to include Justinians own laws as well as two additional books on areas of the law. In 534 the Justinian Code made up of the Code the Digest and the Institutes was completed. Justinians collections were in ancient times always copied separately and afterwards they were printed in the same way. This part of the Institutiones falls under the whole Corpus Iuris Civilis is an early example before the unification under this heading. The present name of Justinians codification was only adopted in the 16th century when it was printed in 1583 by Dionysius Gothofredus. The legal thought behind the Corpus Juris Civilis served as the backbone of the single largest law reform of the modern age the Napoleonic Code which marked the abolition of feudalism. <br/><br/> [F.

Contemporary signature to front flyleaf and title. Title page creased and tender. Moderate toning contemporary ink underscoring. Scattered spotting. <br> The Corpus Juris or Iuris Civilis "Body of Civil Law" is a collection of fundamental works in jurisprudence issued from 529 to 534 by order of Justinian I Eastern Roman Emperor. Its influence on common law legal systems has been much smaller although some basic concepts from the Corpus have survived through Norman law – such as the contrast especially in the Institutes between statute and custom. The Corpus continues to have a major influence on public international law. Its four parts thus constitute the foundation documents of the Western legal tradition. In the Renaissance Justinian’s Code was translated into vernacular languages and formed the base for the legal system for the majority of countries up until the 19th century.

4523Italy 1325. Good. Manuscript on vellum large folio 450 x 345 mm main text 42-lines extensive glosses written in black faded and almost completely illegible. Extracted from a bookbinding very worn. SPECIMINA PALEOGRAPHICA AN EXCELLENT MANUSCRIPT LEAF FOR TEACHING. OUR MANUSCRIPT IS PARTIALLY UNFINISHED THUS PROVIDING VALUABLE EVIDENCE OF MANUSCRIPT PRODUCTION AND MIS-EN-PAGE.<br /> <br /> Mise-en-page refers to the strategic layout and design of the page encompassing ruling margins columns and the placement of text initials and decoration acting as the blueprint for the scribe and artist to create a functional aesthetically pleasing book with significant developments seen in adapting layouts for commentaries like glosses as here and the shift from multi-column to single-column formats over time. Our scribe clearly followed an exemplar as is attested by the red rubrics at the bottom of the verso after which there are only blank spaces. Furthermore one the outer right margin of the recto can be seen the scribe's horizontal rulings in plummet.<br /> <br /> The text of this large tantalizing and extremely challenging leaf which was extracted from a bookbinding contains three chapters from Book II of the Codex of Justinian or the Corpus juris civilis. The Corpus juris civilis is the modern name for a collection of fundamental works in jurisprudence issued from 529 to 534 by order of Justinian I Eastern Roman Emperor. Shortly after Justinian became emperor in 527 he decided the Empire's legal system needed organization and consolidation. Early in his reign Justinian appointed an official Tribonian to oversee this task. The project as a whole became known as Corpus juris civilis or the Justinian Code.<br /> <br /> <br /> "The Codex of Justinian is together with the Digest the core of the great Byzantine compilation of Roman law called the Corpus Iuris Civilis. The Codex gathers legal proclamations issued by Roman Emperors from the second to the sixth centuries C.E. Its influence on subsequent legal development in the medieval and early modern world has been almost incalculable." Simon Corcoran et al. The Codex of Justinian vol. 2 Cambridge University Press 2016. <br /> <br /> We were delighted to find an excellent and whimsical drollerie mischeviously placed at the beginning of Lib. II Tit. 44.<br /> <br /> THE TEXT:<br /> <br /> Liber II Tit. 43 CJ 2.43: Si minor se majorem dixerit vel probatus fuerit "Where a minor alleges that he is of age"; This title deals with the legal consequences for a minor specifically someone under 25 years old who misrepresents themselves as an adult major to enter into a contract or transaction. <br /> <br /> Liber II Tit. 44 CJ 2.44: Si saepius in integrum restitutio postuletur "When complete restitution is demanded more than once" with Gloss: Imperator aurel "Eos qui veniam aetatis impetraverunt" etc.; Imperator Constantinus "Omnes adulescentes. Refers to the limitations on re-litigating a case after a restoration of rights has already been granted a principle within Roman civil law concerning restitutio in integrum. <br /> <br /> Liber II Tit. 45 CJ 2.45: De his qui veniam aetatis impetraverunt "Concerning those who obtain a grant of age" "or "the privilege of full majority". Established that individuals who received this privilege could manage their own affairs and enter into contracts as if they were of full age 25 effectively ending their need for a curator. unknown
