	Code - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The necessity of a code in France was mainly caused by the immense number of separate systems of jurisprudence existing in that country before 1789, justifying Voltaire's sarcasm that a traveller in France had to change laws about as often as he changed horses.
		The remaining French codes are the Code de procedure civile, the Code de commerce, the Code d'instruction criminelle and the Code penal.
		The objection that a code will hamper the opinions of the court, destroy the flexibility and elasticity of the common law, andc., disappears when it is stated in the form of a proposition, that law codified will cover a smaller number of cases, or will be less easily adapted to new cases, than law uncodified.

	Corpus Juris Civilis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Justinian gave orders to collect legal materials of various kinds into several new codes which became the basis of the revival of Roman law in the Middle Ages.
		Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis was lost in the West, where it was scarcely needed in the primitive conditions that followed the collapse of Odoacer's sub-Roman kingdom.
		The University of Bologna, where Justinian's Code was first taught, remained the dominant center for the study of law through the High Middle Ages.

		In 1582 a compilation was made of the Decreta, Extra, the Sext, the Clementines and the Extravagantes (that is, the decretals of the Pope from Pope John XXII to Pope Sixtus IV).
		This code was promulgated in 1917 by his successor, Pope Benedict XV, as the Code of Canon Law.

	Ataman Hotel - Justinianos
		Justinian was a Latin-speaking Illyrian and was born of peasant stock.
		Justinian's main doctrinal problem was the conflict between the orthodox view accepted at the Council of Chalcedon (451), that the divine and human natures coexist in Christ, and the Monophysite teaching that emphasized his divine nature.
		Justinian's legal work and the magnificent Great Church (as Hagia Sophia was called) have won him unending fame, and the literature, poetry, and philosophical achievements of his contemporaries bear witness to the outstanding quality of 6th-century civilization in the Eastern Roman Empire.

	Roman Law - LoveToKnow 1911
		In a second and stricter meaning it indicates the law as consolidated by Justinian or, in other words, the law contained in the Corpus Jun5 Civilis, which is the name that has been given since the 16th century to Justinians legislative works as a whole, and distinguishes them from the Corpus Junis Canonici.
		Before the end of the ensuing year (45,) the bulk of the code was ready and was at once passed into law by the comitia of the centuries and published on ten tables (whether of brass or wood is doubtful), which were set up in the Forum.
		Justinian says that in ancient times it was regarded as a donation to the husband with his wife, rather than as a separate estate that was to be used by him while the niarriage lasted but to revert to her or her representatives on its dissolution.

		Justinian I (483-565), called The Great, Byzantine emperor (527-65), who extended Byzantine rule in the West, beautified Constantinople (present-day İstanbul), and completed the codification of Roman law.
		Almost immediately upon his accession Justinian inaugurated a policy of restoration of the Roman Empire, the western part of which had been lost in the barbarian invasions of the 5th century (see Roman Empire: Fall of the Western Empire).
		By the emperor's death most of the former Roman territory around the Mediterranean Sea, except for Gaul and northern Spain, was again part of the empire, despite a resumption of the Persian war in 540 and gradual Slavic infiltration in the Balkans.

	On the Justinian Code
		The Justinian Code incorporated the earlier Theodosian Code from the century before that legalized and institutionalized intolerance of THOUGHT for centuries, something even the Romans had never done (they restricted their intolerance to rituals, not thought).
		Justinian's precursor was the Emperor Theodosius, and under Theodosius was formulated the first great Christian Code of Laws, the THEODOSIAN CODE, that was a model for the Justinian Code.
		This frightful and sordid temper of the new Christendom is luridly exhibited in the murder of Hypatia of Alexandria in 415.

	Our Anglo-American Legal Heritage - Spring 2003 - Boston College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Justinian I, Emperor of the eastern Roman Empire, gathered the law of centuries past into a format that would enable his subjects to learn, understand, and apply the law in a uniform manner.
		His Code gathered into one place the opinions of the great Roman jurists, and collected legislation passed as far back as Hadrian in the second century A.D. Significant as the Code was in its own time, it continued to make its mark in the ensuing centuries.
		While the Code played an important role in the development of the law before the printing press, once it was set and printed its wider distribution enabled it to take the important place that it still holds.

	Preface: The Visigothic Code: (Forum judicum)
		The cruel and unrelenting pursuit of the Jews, commanded by the Visigothic Code, was the foundation of the Spanish Inquisition and its diabolical procedure.
		In considering the general details of the Visigothic Code, one of the striking and suggestive features which presents itself is the inculcation of exalted precepts of honor, probity, and justice, and, at the same time, the acceptance and adoption of a belief in the basest and most grovelling forms of superstition.
		Unlike other Codes which preceded and followed it, it is deficient in regularity of classification and division, and, in that respect, signally differs from the Institutes of Justinian, whose arrangement was almost literally followed by Blackstone in his Commentaries on the Laws of England.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canonical Adoption
		The Code of Justinian modified the older Roman law by determining that the rights derived from the natural parentage were not lost by adoption by a stranger.
		Wherever the substantial elements of the Roman law are retained in the new codes, the Church recognizes this relationship as a diriment impediment in accord with the principle laid down by Benedict XIV.
		When adoption is in accord with the substantial elements of the Roman law, as in the case of the German code, in the eyes of the Church it carries with it all the restrictions in the matter of marriage accepted by the Church from the Roman law.

		Justinian also appoints a series of able (though not always scrupulous) senior legal and financial officials and gives primary command of his armies to the young general Belisarius.
		Justinian leaves his people with an ambivalent legacy: His re-conquest of much of the western empire from the Vandals and Goths, although impressive, was bought at the cost of much devastation - particularly in Italy.
		Justinian’s most unimpeachable and long-lasting contribution to Byzantine history remains his re-codification of Roman Law and the construction of the Great Church of Haghia Sophia.

		The new code was promulgated at Constantinople, on the 16th November 534, and the use of the decisiones, the new constitutiones, and of the first edition of the Justinianeus Codex, was forbidden.
		Since the Code of Justinian made no new changes to the role of the papacy, it is pointless to try to use the introduction of this Code as the basis of some type of prophetic measurement, as the anti-Catholics are wont to do.

	From the Justinian Code - Sidebar - MSN Encarta
		The Justinian Code, or Corpus Juris Civilis, was a mammoth legal project undertaken by 6th-century Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Emperor Justinian I. The work incorporated, updated, and clarified the Roman law that had come before.
		The code consisted of four parts: the Codex clarified and updated past imperial statutes; the Digesta interpreted and updated past legal decisions; the Institutiones was a handbook for student lawyers; and the Novellae was a collection of Justinian’s laws that were issued after publication of the Codex.
		This excerpt from the Digesta demonstrates the literary technique of the code, which used such devices as a conversation and examples drawn from life to illustrate legal points.
