Discover the ultimate source of legal scholarship that every lawyer should own!
The Digest of the Emperor Justinian, an essential jewel of Law, is the most important compilation of legal opinions of the classical Roman era. This monumental work, which brings together great jurisconsults such as Ulpian, Paulus and Gaius and other great universal masters of Law, has profoundly influenced the formation of Western Law, remaining an inexhaustible source of legal wisdom and an invaluable legacy of the legal tradition. However, despite its indisputable importance, this work has been ignored in modern English editions, leaving new generations of jurists bereft of the richness and depth of Roman Law and its value in legal science.

Throughout its fifty books, this legal treasure provides precepts, reflections and timeless principles that inspire and guide the practice of Law in both the private and public spheres. You will be amazed by the ingenious solutions and timeless legal principles it contains to inspire the modern jurist!
This first book of the Digest offers a historical overview of Roman Law and the tradition of the ancient jurists; the attributions of the various officia who administered the imperial machinery; famous aphorisms inspiring the work of the jurist and, most especially, two titles dedicated to the classification of persons and property, as well as topics relating to adoption and emancipation, very useful in the reflection of Civil Law.
The Digest of Justinian is a valuable investment for your career and an essential addition to your professional library. buy it today and discover why the Digest is considered the ‘Work of Works’ of Law!
