1519 LAW Corpus Juris Civilis
Justinian CODEX Byzantine P. Incunable HUGE FOLIO
“Freedom is the natural ability of
everyone to do what he likes, unless it is prohibited by law or by force.”
― Justinian I
Justinian’s ‘Corpus Juris Civilis’
is unquestionably the fundamental work on law and jurisprudence! Parts of this
work were originally intended to be used by law students, but they were not
solely used as a textbook – they actually carried legal weight …as law! It
includes four distinct parts – Codex, Digest, Institutes, and Novellae – each
written with a different purpose.
‘Codex’ was the Justinian’s
attempt at organizing the laws in a systematic manner. Recognizing that the law
system needed to be fixed, ‘Codex’
covers ecclesiastical law, criminal and civil law, the way laws were written
and put into effect, duties of government officials, and proper administrative
regulations.
This extremely rare and valuable 1519 edition is a massive folio
published in Lyon by Francois Fradin.
