Henry John Roby (1830 1915) was a Cambridge-educated classicist
whose influential career included periods as a schoolmaster, a
Professor of Roman law at University College, London, an
educational reformer and a Member of Parliament. First published in
1884, this volume provides an analysis and discussion of
Justinian's Digesta, a compendium of second and third century Roman
legal writings which forms part of the body of Roman civil law
issued under Justinian I in 533 AD. It is considered a fundamental
work of Roman jurisprudence. Roby discusses the historical context
of the Digesta, compares extracts in other legal sources with the
original text and provides the Latin text of De Usufructu (one of
the titles from the Digesta) with detailed close textual discussion
and analysis. This volume was the first published guide to studying
the Digesta and is considered one of Roby's most important
contributions to jurisprudence.
