Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book significantly advanced Roman law during the reign of Justinian the Great. It traces the history of legal institutions from the time of the Roman Republic to Justinian's day. The author, at the emperor's behest, collected prior legal commentaries and statutes into a comprehensive digest that served to crystallize law into a teachable form. The digest addressed ambiguities in the law, added new legal principles, and reflected a shift from a slave-based to a more feudal society. The author's work became a model for later legal codes, influencing the development of law across the globe as well as the preservation of Roman Law. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
