The Theodosian Code:
Studies in the Imperial Law of Late
by Ian Wood (Editor),
Jill Harries (Editor)
The Theodosian Code, put
together under the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II, is a compliation of the
laws dating from 312 to 438 AD, when the code was published. It brought order
to a vast unmanageable body of law and formed part of the basis for the
sixth-century Institutes of Justinian, fundamental to later jurisprudence. This
book is an important collection of articles, well established as an essential
resource for students of Roman law, long unavailable and here published in
paperback for the first time with a new preface and updated bibliography.
