| The
Digest (Digesta), or Pandects (Pandectae), was a part
of the great collection of Roman laws known as the Corpus Iuris
Civilis. The Digest was issued in AD 533 under the direction of
the imperial quaestor Tribonian. It compiled the writings of the great
Roman jurists such as Ulpian along with current edicts. It constituted
both the current law of the time, and a turning point in Roman Law :
from then on the sometimes contradictory case law of the past was subsumed
into an ordered legal system. |
