1556 LAW Justinian Institutes Theophilus Antecessor Byzantine Law Jacques Corte

“Freedom is the natural ability of everyone to do what he likes, unless it is prohibited by law or by force.”

― Justinian I

The ‘Institutes of Justinian’ is a portion of the full Corpus Juris Civilis, largely based on the Institutes of Gaius. Justinian sought to reform Roman law and education. This work was originally intended to be used by law students, but they were not solely used as a textbook, they carried legal weight …as law!

Numerous jurists throughout history have made commentary on Justinian and created their own perspectives on the famed ‘Corpus Juris Civilis’. Sixth-century Byzantine jurist Theophilus Antecessor was one such mind who wrote a commentary on each portion of Justinian’s ‘Corpus Juris’. This 1556 edition of Theophilus was edited by Jacques de Corte.
