This contribution aims to confront, in a synoptical way, the three works on which the foundations of our knowledge of the utmost and definitive textbook in classic roman law, the Gai Institutiones contained in the invaluable Codex Veronensis XV (13), still lay. On the one hand, the Apographum by Eduard Böcking, published in 1866, on the other hand, the Apographum by Wilhelm Studemund, released in 1874, and his fundamental Supplementa, sent to the press ten years later. Through a letter-by-letter and a folium-by-folium analysis, all of the differences between the two Apographa have been individuated, as well as the most frequent mistakes contained in the Böcking’s Apographum. Each correction made by Studemund’s Supplementa to the previous lectures offered both from Johann Friedrich Ludwig Göschen and from Friedrich von Bluhme has also represented matter of close examination. Furthermore, even some of the Theodor Mommsen’s publishing modifications to the Gai Institutiones’ text – as it results from the Studemund’s works – have been put under a magnifyng glass, with the purpose of distinguishing his emendationes ope ingenii from the integrations that can be materially confirmed by the combined reading of the Apographum and the Supplementa. This paper therefore tries to provide fresh and tangible evidences to the thesis that finds the works of Studemund to be the most complete and accurate transcription of the Codex Veronensis to this day.

Abstract
This contribution aims to confront, in a synoptical way, the three works on which the foundations of our knowledge of the utmost and definitive textbook in classic roman law, the Gai Institutiones contained in the invaluable Codex Veronensis XV (13), still lay. On the one hand, the Apographum by Eduard Böcking, published in 1866, on the other hand, the Apographum by Wilhelm Studemund, released in 1874, and his fundamental Supplementa, sent to the press ten years later. Through a letter-by-letter and a folium-by-folium analysis, all of the differences between the two Apographa have been individuated, as well as the most frequent mistakes contained in the Böcking’s Apographum. Each correction made by Studemund’s Supplementa to the previous lectures offered both from Johann Friedrich Ludwig Göschen and from Friedrich von Bluhme has also represented matter of close examination. Furthermore, even some of the Theodor Mommsen’s publishing modifications to the Gai Institutiones’ text – as it results from the Studemund’s works – have been put under a magnifyng glass, with the purpose of distinguishing his emendationes ope ingenii from the integrations that can be materially confirmed by the combined reading of the Apographum and the Supplementa. This paper therefore tries to provide fresh and tangible evidences to the thesis that finds the works of Studemund to be the most complete and accurate transcription of the Codex Veronensis to this day.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
