La legislazione del 18 ottobre 532. Le constitutiones ad commodum propositi operis pertinentes: gli esempi di C. 3, 10, 3 e C. 8, 37 (38), 15 The Justinian legislation of 18th October 532. The constitutiones ad commodum propositi operis pertinentes: the examples of C. 3, 10, 3 e C. 8, 37 (38), 15

This research, as part of a broader work devoted to the constitutiones ad commodum propositi operis pertinentes issued on 18th October 532, is directed to the analysis of C. 3, 10, 3 and C. 8, 37 (38), 15. In particular, considering it plausible that both fall precisely within the last 'cluster' of constitutiones ad commodum, the author attempts to identify the contexts in which, as part of the perusal of ancient jurisprudential materials, the compilers and chancellery may have drawn the cue to make the two normative interventions. The hypothesis is that both constitutions derive from the reading of the libri ad Sabinum and may show that by the date of 18th October 532 the probing work done by the compilers on the commentaries devoted to ius civile, as indeed also that of the great commentaries ad edictum, was nearing completion or, perhaps, had already been finished.
