The
Rebirth
of
Roman
Law
Pepo (1075) Emperor Justinian's Codification of Roman Law: Digest, Codex, Institutes 529-534 AD = Corpus iuris civilis 1. Roman law began to influence and shape secular and canon law circa 1120-1140. 2. From the start Roman law was not simply or only incorporated into non-Roman law texts; jurists adapted Roman law institutions, concepts and principles to the needs of local communities. 3. Roman law became a "practical science" and a source of legal principles in canon law and secular legal systems. 4. The Priesterseminar contained all the texts of the Roman Corpus iuris civilis and many commentaries.
