The editors and translators (not to mention the ghost of Fred Blume) are owed a profound thanks for this important service to anyone interested in the history of the world's most influential legal system. The Codex is an unparalleled source of Roman law in action and often shows us how the rules were brought to bear on the real problems encountered by the inhabitants of the empire. This translation will be an aid to any student of law and life in the Roman world.'

The Codex compiles legal proclamations issued by Roman emperors from the second to the sixth centuries CE. Its influence on subsequent legal development in the medieval and early modern world has been almost incalculable. But the Codex has not, until now, been credibly translated into English. This translation, with a facing Latin and Greek text (from Paul Krüger's ninth edition of the Codex), is based on one made by Justice Fred H. Blume in the 1920s, but left unpublished for almost a century. It is accompanied by introductions explaining the background of the translation, a bibliography and glossary, and notes that help in understanding the text. Anyone with an interest in the Codex, whether an interested novice or a professional historian, will find ample assistance here.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eVolume 1: Justice Fred H.
