Roby's fine introduction provides more than an explanation and
analysis of the components of the Digest, although those are key
features of the work. It also discusses points, sources, technical
phrases and the jurists cited in the Digest. The Appendix lays out
its organizational structure and adds a chronological table of
Emperors and major historical events. In all, Roby provides a
highly useful guide for anyone who wishes to cite or study this
cornerstone of Western jurisprudence. HENRY JOHN ROBY 1830-1915]
was a classical lecturer at Cambridge University and professor of
jurisprudence at University College, London. He was the author of
the important Grammar of the Latin Language, from Plautus to
Suetonius (1862) and Roman Private Law in the Time of Cicero and
the Antonines (1902).
