The Roman Law Library (Justinian Project) is a digital edition of the sources of Roman law, from the first texts of the royal era to the compilations of the Byzantine period. It contributes by the richness of the topics addressed to a better understanding of the founding texts of our contemporary legal system.

Born from the collaboration of a law historian (Yves Lassard) and a specialist in archaic Roman society (Alexandr Koptev), the project's main objective is to facilitate the work of researchers using the Internet. Endowed with an abundant bibliography, the site counts today close to 4 000 texts distributed under twenty rubrics (leges, senatus consulta, constitutiones principis, responsa prudentium, etc) as well as a very large number of translations. Specialists from various disciplines also contribute to the project's success: papyrologists, eruscologists, linguists and legal historians.

Hosted on the Grenoble-Alpes University server, this publication is part of the historical research orientations defined by the Center for Studies on International Security and European Cooperation (CESICE) of the Faculty of Law of Grenoble. Related Articleschange the code edit code
