* Item Description

About the Book

As the history of Roman law proceeds, the transformation from the Twelve Tables to Justinian's Code of 534 is among its most significant developments. Justinian's attempt to create a comprehensive code also created a sense of unity in legal theories, because all questions were to be answered by reference to his Institutes alone. This book is a detailed introduction to the sources of his Institutes as well as an informative account of the history and nature of Roman law. Grapel's explanatory notes help make his translation more easily understood and useful, while his extensive bibliographical appendices are invaluable guides to further study.
