1663 LAW Justinian Institutes Codex Rome Corpus Juris Lyon Felix Basset Latin

“Freedom is the natural ability of everyone to do what he likes, unless it is prohibited by law or by force.”

― Justinian I

The ‘Institutes of Justinian’ is a portion of the full Corpus Juris Civilis, largely based on the Institutes of Gaius. Justinian sought to reform Roman law and education. This work was originally intended to be used by law students, but they were not solely used as a textbook, they carried legal weight …as law!

In 1634, historian Felix Basset gave a lecture in the court of King Louis XIII on the practice of forensic law based on the teachings of Justinian’s ‘Institutes’. In addition to the Justinian texts, this edition contains Basset’s lectures and commentary on Justinian law.
