Summary

"This book presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the problems of the text, the working of law in practice in late antiquity and the afterlife of the Code down to Mommsen's great edition. The first study in English of the text in its own right, it will be essential reading for all concerned with the history of the late Roman world and the evolution of post-classical law."
