Epitome Iuliani

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Epitome Iuliani (occasionally: Epitome Juliani (constitutiones novellae Justiniani de graeco in Latinum translate per Julianum, virum eloquentissimum, antecessorem civitatis Constantinopolitanae) or Juliani epitome latina Novellarum Justiniani ) is a late antique private law collection of Emperor Justinian from the year 556 AD 124 supplementary laws to its overall legislative work, the later so-called Corpus iuris civilis , the Novellae .

history

Mainly used in the Western Roman legal system, the epitome was an essential basis of Byzantine legal instruction . According to the findings of modern scientific research, Justinian's laws , which had already been promulgated in 534, were compiled for the first time in the Epitome . The slightly more extensive, but otherwise largely identical collection of the Authenticum was possibly published in the same year .

The work is attributed to Julian, a Greek native speaker and law teacher ( antecessor ). He was initially active in teaching in Beirut , later in Constantinople and had made a name for himself as the author of summae and other epitomae . It is believed that in the academic year 556/557 he held a novella course based on the work in the Emperor's Latin mother tongue in the Byzantine capital for Latin- speaking students. He had created and used a novella index ( Novellarum - a list of chapters ) for instruction in the foreign language teaching text . The list of chapters has been preserved and can be found in six of the seven oldest surviving manuscripts of Julian.

In the following decades, a hodgepodge of Western-influenced commentaries and repertories was formed around the epitome Iuliani , such as the Constitutiones de rebus ecclesiasticis , the Capitula ex lege Iustiniana or the total of novels De ordine ecclesiastico . Mostly they are based on excerpts from the handwriting that is the object of the article. Further Roman law texts contain the compilations of the Regulae ecclesiasticae , the Collectio in V libris and the Collectio in IX libris .

  2. ↑ Paul Koschaker does not speak in this context of the practice of a “jurisprudence” which has not yet existed in this sense, but of the practice of “legal instruction”; see.
