The most famous legal work of the ancient world was compiled at the
order of the emperor Justinian (c.482 565) and issued in the period
529 34. It was intended to be a complete codification of all law,
to be used as the only source of law in all the courts of the
empire. The work was divided into three parts: the Codex
Justinianus contained all of the extant imperial enactments from
the time of Hadrian; the Digesta compiled the writings of great
Roman jurists; and the Institutiones was intended as a textbook for
law schools. However, Justinian later found himself obliged to
create more laws, and these were published as the Novellae. This
three-volume Latin edition of 1872 95, prepared by the great
classical historian Theodor Mommsen (1817 1903) and his colleagues,
is the culmination of centuries of palaeographical and legal
studies. Volume 3 contains the Novellae."
