GAI INSTITVTIONVM COMMENTARII QVATTVOR - Gaius : Institutes, Book I (latin)

Under the direction of Tribonian, the Corpus Iurus Civilis [Body of Civil Law] was issued in three parts, in Latin, at the order of the Emperor Justinian.

Although Law as practiced in Rome had grown up as a type of case law, this was not the "Roman Law" known to the Medieval, or modern world. Now Roman law claims to be based on abstract principles of justice that were made into actual rules of law by legislative authority of the emperor or the Roman people.

Collection of Roman laws of Alexandre Koptev (Latin texts and translations), carried out with the collaboration of Yves Lassard, Professor with the Faculty of Law of Grenoble.
