The Corpus Juris Civilis

Por: Anavitarte, E. J.*

The Corpus Juris Civilis is a compilation of legal texts that Emperor Justinian I, the Great, systematized in the 6th century, and which was later printed by the monk Denis Godefroy in the year 1583 under the name of Corpus Juris Civilis Romani.

This collection of texts is considered the most important classic work on Roman law, as it contains within itself a collection of more than 67 books, and multiple isolated texts attributed to it.

This work, together with the Comments of Gaius, were the most extended and approached during the period of medieval glossators, and therefore, one of the most influential in shaping late medieval and modern European law. Hence, many of the institutions we know today are the result of the Roman law interpreted from this compilation.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
