Book Overview
Institutiones Justiniani, or "Justinian's Institutes," is a foundational text in the study of Roman law. Compiled under the direction of Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century AD, this work served as an introductory textbook for law students in the Byzantine Empire. Divided into four books, the Institutes provides a systematic overview of Roman legal principles, covering topics such as persons, things, actions, and delicts. Although these three books are attributed to an anonymous source, they draw heavily from earlier jurists like Gaius, and offer a concise and accessible entry point into the complex world of Roman jurisprudence.
This edition offers readers a valuable resource for understanding the historical roots of modern legal systems and the enduring influence of Roman legal thought. It remains relevant for legal scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the foundations of Western law and governance.
