 Roman Emperors - DIR Justinian
The Codex Justinianus, the Institutes and the Digest of Roman jurisprudence, all commissioned by Justinian, are monuments to the past achievements of Roman legal heritage.
The cognomen "Justinianus" indicates that he was the adoptive son of the emperor Justin (518-527), his uncle, and the adoption must have taken place before his consulship year, possibly before Justin became emperor.
One byproduct of all this labor was to make the Codex vetus obsolete, and hence a new edition was published on 16 November, 534 and the first edition has failed to survive.

  Corpus Juris Civilis - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Codex Justinianus (Code of Justinian) was the first part to be completed, on April 7, 529.
Historians disagree on the precise way it was recovered in Northern Italy about 1070: perhaps it was waiting unneeded and unnoticed in a library until the legal studies that were undertaken on behalf of papal authority that was central to the Gregorian Reform of Pope Gregory VII led to its accidental rediscovery.
Aside from the Littera Florentina, a 6th-century codex of the Pandects that was preserved at Pisa, apparently without ever being publicly consulted, (and removed to Florence after Florence conquered Pisa in 1406), there may have been other manuscript sources for the text that began to be taught at Bologna, by Pepo and then by Irnerius.

 Codex - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
From the 4th century, when the codex gained wide acceptance to the Carolingian Revival in the 8th century many works were not converted from scroll to codex and were lost to posterity.
The codex also made it easier to organize documents in a library because it had a stable spine on which the title of the book could be written, and later read when books where arranged upright on shelves.
The codex is the songbook used at a cantus.

 Justinian I
Starting from the premise that the existence of a commonwealth rested upon arms and laws, he paid particular attention to legislation, and wrought a lasting memorial for himself by codifying the Roman law (Codex Justinianus[?], Novellae Constitutiones).
Justinian is mainly remembered for his judicial revolution which organised Roman law in a form and organic scheme that is still in use today and remains more or less unaltered in some countries today (apart from obvious adaptations).
Both the Codex and the Novellae contain many enactments regarding donations, foundations, and administration of ecclesiastical property; election and rights of bishops, priests and abbots; monastic life, residential obligations of the clergy, conduct of divine service, episcopal jurisdiction, etc.

 The legislative work of Justinian and Tribonian - by Al. Vasilief
In order to facilitate the use of classical literature (the jus vetus), a decree was issued during the reign of Theodosius II and his western contemporary, Valentinian III, which granted paramount authority only to the works of the five most famous jurists.
It was divided into ten books, containing the constitutions from the reign of the Emperor Hadrian to the time of Justinian; it became the sole authoritative code of laws in the Empire, thus repealing the three older codes.
In short, the Code, in its edition of the year 529, seemed out of date in many parts, and a new revision was undertaken and completed in the year 534.

However the apparatus criticus, the interpretationes from the Breviarium and the parallels from the Codex Justinianus have not been reproduced.
The intention here is to create a 'virtual' edition of the Code, in order to present the text in a form as close as possible to that in which it would have appreared to contemporary readers in the mid fifth century.
Thus the order of the prefatory material and the form of the index of titles and constitutions depends upon manuscript authority of version of the Breviarium and the Codex Justinianus, whose form can be expected to follow that of the original Codex Theodosianus.
