Jacques Cujas e la lettera scomparsa : una vicenda editoriale tra apocrifia e storia

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

In 1570, Jacques Cujas published Books IX–XI of the Observationes et emendationes, which included a previously unpublished letter from Emperor Justinian addressed to General Narses, the patrician tasked with reorganizing the territory in Italy following the definitive defeat of Totila. Through this measure, a beneficium in the strict sense, the emperor ordered Narses to restore the Titiones brothers, in reward for their heroic military service in the Gothic War, to their former estates in northern Italy, which had been unlawfully occupied following the settlement of Germanic peoples, expressly waiving any and all legal norms, including the longissimi temporis praescriptio.
