Abstract
Adopting the “code” as a historiographical category, that is, as a point of view from which to understand and describe Roman law, provides a good example of the difficulties that confront the historical study of law. Becoming aware of interpretive challenges represents one of the principal tasks necessary in order to renew our discipline: for this reason, the example of the use of the legal code as a category is then a matter of some interest. This chapter deals with the Roman attempts to organize and circulate legal information, without reference to the modern concept of codification.File in questo prodotto:
