Hexabiblos
The Hexabiblos ( Greek ἡ Ἑξάβιβλος "writing in six books") is the main work of the Byzantine jurist Konstantinos Harmenopoulos , which was completed in 1345 in Thessaloniki .
description
It is a compilation of the entire secular law of the Byzantines on the basis of the Procheiros nomos with additions from several other legal sources, such as some imperial novels, the writing of the architect Iulianos von Askalon , the Eparchenbuch , the Peira , which has survived in almost 70 manuscripts . the law book of Michael Attaleiates and the Synopsis minor . The division of the work, which is preceded by an extensive prologue, largely corresponds to the pandemic system developed in the 19th century : "General Part" (Book 1), Property Law (Book 2), Law of Obligations (Book 3), Family Law (Book 4) , Inheritance Law (Book 5) and Criminal Law (Book 6). The work, to which the author probably already added a few appendices (including self-edited versions of Donatio Constantini and Nomos Georgikos ), was soon scolded and greatly expanded, especially in the so-called Hexabiblos aucta . The Hexabiblos , unmasked by Justinian legal research as a flat and shortened work , remained in use under the Ottoman rule and became legally binding for the newly founded Kingdom of Greece in 1835 at the latest ; It was not until 1946 that it was replaced by the new Greek Civil Code ( Astikos Kodikas or Kodix) that came into force at the time .
