Prochiron legum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francesco Brandileone (ed.), Prochiron Legum pubblicato secondo il cod. Vat.gr. 845 , 1895

The Prochiron legum (= Handbook of Laws), also called Prochiron Calabriae , is a Middle Byzantine legal book. It is only handed down in Codex Vaticanus graecus 845 and comprises 40 or 41 titles. Sources of the work are a special version of the Eclogue ton nomon and a version of the Epitome Legum - enriched with chapters from the Eisagoge tu nomu . The (unknown) compiler did not reproduce his templates literally, but simplified in style and vocabulary. The legal book was created in the 12th century in southern Norman Italy, perhaps in the 3rd quarter of this century in Amalfi .
