Gaii Institutionum Iuris Civilis Commentarit Quattuor (1886)

More about the book

The work, authored by Roman jurist Gaius, serves as a commentary on the Justinian Institutions, a foundational text of Roman civil law. It comprises four books, with the first three addressing persons, things, and actions, while the fourth focuses on judicial matters. Gaius provides definitions and examples to elucidate Roman laws and rights. Written in the 2nd century, it was rediscovered in the 18th century, and the 1886 reprint aims to preserve this culturally significant text for modern readers, despite potential imperfections.
