Uncommon edition of Justinian’s Institutiones in pocket size, to be used by professor, students and lawyers.
In the same period in which it had started the Law reorganization in the Pandectae, Justinian asked the jurists Trebonianus, Theophilus e Dorotheus to create a manual that summarized the items of the Roman Law to be used by the students of the Empire. The Institutiones remained, along the centuries, a cornerstone of the matter because of the clarity and completeness, and for that reasons were utilized by the most important scholars as a skeleton to build their own commentary on it.
The text is followed by two indexes, quoting the specific terms used and the paragraphs where to find the definitions of the basic rules or Roman law.
