About this Item

His accesserunt Notae repetitiae quartae que praelectionis, Dionysii Gothofredi I.C. authore . Coloniae Allobrogvm : Apud Iohannem Vignon, 1614. Later 17th/18th century calf binding. [62] pp.; 2018 columns. - Early 17th century French edition of the standard edition by Gothofredus of the Corpus Juris Civilis. The Corpus was recovered in Northern Italy about 1070 and the merchant classes of Italian communes required law with a concept of equity, and law that covered situations inherent in urban life better than the primitive Germanic oral traditions. The provenance of the Code appealed to scholars who saw in the Holy Roman Empire a revival of venerable precedents from the classical heritage. The new class of lawyers staffed the bureaucracies that were beginning to be required by the princes of Europe. The University of Bologna, where Justinian's Code was first taught, remained the dominant centre for the study of law through the High Middle Ages. A two-volume edition of the Digest was published in Paris in 1549 and 1550, translated by Antonio Agustín, Bishop of Tarragona, who was well known for other legal works. Referring to Justinian's Code as Corpus Juris Civilis was only adopted in the 16th century, when it was printed in 1583 by Dionysius Gothofredus under this title. The legal thinking behind the Corpus Juris Civilis served as the backbone of the single largest legal reform of the modern age, the Napoleonic Code, which marked the abolition of feudalism. Condition : very good copy. Keywords : RECHT, roman law, römisches Recht Corpus juris civilus.
