Synopsis

Reprint of the first and only edition. Originally published: Cambridge: At the University Press, 1886. cclxxix pp. This authoritative introduction to a scholarly study of Justinian's Digest provides more than an explanation and analysis of the legal arrangement and the components themselves, although those are key features of the work. He compares points, extracts, and other legal sources, makes recommendations for citing the Digest. A number of chapters are given over to the jurists. The Appendix lays out the organizational structure of the Digest and includes a chronological table of Emperors and major events.
