This book provides a new approach to the study of the History of
Roman Law. It collects the first results of the European Research
Council Project, Scriptores iuris Romani - dedicated to a new
collection of the texts of Roman jurisprudence, highlighting
important methodological issues, together with innovative
reconstructions of the profiles of some ancient jurists and works.
Jurists were great protagonists of the history of Rome, both as
producers and interpreters of law, since the Republican Age and as
collaborators of the principes during the Empire. Nevertheless,
their role has been underestimated by modern historians and legal
experts for reasons connected to the developments of Modern Law in
England and in Continental Europe. This book aims to address this
imbalance. It presents an advanced paradigm in considering the most
important aspects of Roman law: the Justinian Digesta, and other
juridical late antique anthologies. The work offers an
historiographic model which overturns current perspectives and
makes way for a different path for legal and historical studies.
Unlike existing literature, the focus is not on the Justinian
Codification, but on the individualities of ancient Roman Jurists.
As such, it presents the actual legal thought of its experts and
authors: the ancient iuris prudentes. The book will be of interest
to researchers and academics in Classics, Ancient History, History
of Law, and contemporary legal studies.
