Abstract

This chapter discusses law teaching at the time of Justinian. The first section focuses on the Justinianic curriculum of law studies, which was based on the new imperial legislation. The following chapter sections discuss issues related to the antecessors, the law professors at the time of Justinian. In particular, the second section focuses on the teaching method which they developed as they tried to tackle the language problem of teaching Latin legislation to mostly Greek-speaking students. In the third and fourth sections information is given about the antecessorian works on the different parts of Justinian’s legislation (Code, Digest, Institutes, and the Novels) and where to find them. The last section discusses the end of the antecessorian period and concludes with some information on the legacy of the antecessors throughout the centuries.
