  • Ulpian's commentary ad edictumis one of the great texts of Western legal thought: its mighty layout reflects centuries of prestigious knowledge, destined to play a crucial role in the laboratory of modernity.Together with the Institutions of Gaius, it is also the work most used by the Justinian compilers in the drafting of the Digesta, and consequently the one we know best of all Roman jurisprudence. Two volumes of the Scriptores are dedicated to it - and in particular to the first six books that compose it: the first with books I-III, edited by Cristina Giachi, and the second with books IV-VII, edited by Antonio Angelosanto, Valerio Marotta, Francesca Pulitanò, Aldo Schiavone, and Francesca Tamburi. Their reading introduces one to a vision that is both analytical and comprehensive of Ulpian's work, in a perspective that represents an absolute novelty in legal historiography. [Publisher's text]
