Annotated Justinian Code online

By Mary Persyn

Justice Fred Blume's translation of the Justinian Code has been put online by the University of Wyoming Law Library.

See http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/blume&justinian/default.asp

To quote Tim Kearley, Director of the Law Library and Centennial Distinguished Professor of Law At Wyoming:

"This web site . . . contains PDFs of Justice Blume?s copiously annotated (4,500+ pages) English translation of Justinian?s Code?the only English translation made from the Latin version regarded as most authoritative. (Scott?s heavily criticized translation was made from another.)

The site also contains: Blume?s scanned translation of the Novels; his 100+ page ?The Code of Justinian, and it?s Value??an address he delivered part of to the Riccobono Society in 1938 but which has never been published; and a few other Blume-related items."
