Landesbibliothek jur. 71, fol. 26r
Italian (saec. XII.1) Justinian's Codex 2.1
Glosses of Irnerius |
1. Beginning with Irnerius, the jurists
worked on the first 9 books of Justinian's Codex and Justinian's
Institutes
2. The text of the
Digest did not need same attention because it was a book of
jurisprudence.
3. The primary means
through which the jurists made the Codex relevant for the twelfth
century by adding abbreviated texts to the
margins that they called C.N.
(Constitutiones novae)
4. These
additions to the margins of the Codex are important because
they provide evidence for the teaching of
the jurists and for their making the Codex a
living law |
