(John Baron) The Institutes of Justinian Produced by Howard Sauertieg, and David Widger "The Institutes of Justinian" by John Baron Moyle is a translation of a foundational legal work from the late Roman Empire, likely composed during the 6th century AD. This comprehensive treatise serves as an essential guide for law students, outlining fundamental legal concepts and principles as established by Emperor Justinian I. The text addresses various aspects of law, including definitions of justice, types of law (namely natural law, civil law, and law of nations), and the rights and obligations of individuals under these laws. The opening of the work begins with a prologue from Emperor Justinian, where he emphasizes the importance of law in maintaining good governance and justice in the Empire. The text introduces key topics such as the nature of justice, the classification of laws, and the legal status of different types of individuals, including free persons, slaves, and freedmen. Justinian outlines the structure of the law, aiming to simplify legal education by providing a systematic approach that integrates both existing legal truths and practices from Roman jurisprudence. The beginning sets a foundational understanding of Roman legal principles that will be built upon in the subsequent books of "The Institutes." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
