Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commentaries of Gaius on the Roman Law: With an English Translation and Annotations The publication of this Edition of Gaius has been undertaken in deference to the expressed desire of many professional friends, and from a conviction that a translation of this, the earliest extant Institutional Treatise, would be both useful to students of the Roman law and acceptable to all interested in the advancement of the science of jurisprudence. The general plan of these Commentaries was adopted by Justinian in his Institutes, and has thus become the basis of nearly all subsequent systematic works on general law. To the student of classical literature these Commentaries are valuable as presenting a system of law which very closely resembles that which prevailed at Rome in the Augustan age; thus throwing considerable light on the legal allusions found in the great writers of that period.
