EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Justinian's Codex, Book III. XVIII (Fragment) - A Medieval Manuscript Fragment from the 14th Century Justinian's Codex, Book III. XVIII (Fragment) is a precious medieval manuscript, dating back to the 14th century. This single folio, made of parchment, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Roman legal tradition and the intricacies of medieval scholarship. The text on this folio is derived from Book III.XVIII, De Probationis, of Justinian's Codex. The main body text is accompanied by two types of glosses: a marginal gloss and an additional minute gloss. These glosses were added to aid in the understanding of the complex legal text, reflecting the meticulous study and interpretation of the law during the Middle Ages. Justinian's Codex, compiled in the 6th century under Emperor Justinian I, is a comprehensive collection of Roman law. It served as the primary legal code for the Eastern Roman Empire and significantly influenced the development of European legal systems. The 14th-century manuscript fragment, therefore, represents a link between the ancient Roman legal tradition and the evolving legal scholarship of the Middle Ages. The intricately written Latin text, with its meticulous marginalia, is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the medieval scribes and scholars who preserved and interpreted the legal knowledge of their time. The fragment's survival and preservation in the UCL Library Services Digital Collections is a reminder of the invaluable historical and cultural significance of medieval manuscripts. This fragment offers a glimpse into the intellectual world of medieval Europe, where legal scholars labored to understand and apply the complex legal codes of the past. The Justinian's Codex, Book III. XVIII (Fragment) is a precious reminder of the enduring influence of Roman law on European legal systems and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
