The most famous legal work of the ancient world was compiled at the
order of the emperor Justinian (c.482 565) by the imperial quaestor
Tribonian, 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."
