Justinian's Digest

This book collects Honoré's groundbreaking work on the composition of Justinian's Digest, among the most important texts in Roman Law. It reconstructs the methodology of the Digest's composition, and examines the broader issues raised by the Digest's creation - how it was conceived by its compilers, its purpose, and its impact.

Tammo Wallinga, Edinburgh Law Review Anyone who wants to do further research into the compilation of the Digest may find this book useful, to the extent that it presents Honoré's own ideas in a slightly revised form and gives references to other relevant literature, and of course Honoré's observations provide plenty of food for thought.
