The renowned commentary to the Justinian's Institutions written by Joannes Oinotomos (Johann Schneidewein), first printed in 1573 and re-issued many times along the following two centuries.
To this edition are added the addition of the French juruist Denis Godefroy.

The text is organized according to the theories of Protestant Reform, whose application Martin Luther charged Philip Melanchton.

Johann Schneidewein (1519-1568), was a famous German jurist, scholar of Martin Luther at Wittenberg. He followed his teacher all along his life, obtaining prestigious political and academic tasks, in the German protestant electorate. He considered a fake the donation of Constantine and, consequently, he deemed illegitimate the temporal power of the Roman papacy.
