1547 LAW Andrea Alciati Commentary on Justinian Codex Catholic & Byzantine FOLIO

“Plenitudo potestatis nihil aliud est quam violentia.” (The fullness of power is nothing more than violence).

― Andrea Alciati

Andrea Alciati was a 16^th-century Italian author who is best known for his famed book of Emblemata. And while his emblems brought him recognition, he also published an important annotated commentary on Justinian’s ‘Codex’. During his study of law in Bourges, Alciati began writing ‘Ad Rescripta Principum Commentarii’.

‘Codex’, part of ‘Corpus Juris Civilis’, was the Justinian’s attempt at organizing the laws in a systematic manner. Recognizing that the law system needed to be fixed, ‘Codex’ covers ecclesiastical law, criminal and civil law, the way laws were written and put into effect, duties of government officials, and proper administrative regulations.

This 1547 edition is notable for being the last edition published during Alicati’s lifetime.
