EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases ten strips of parchment manuscripts dating back to the 13th century, believed to be fragments of Codex Justinianus and Digesta. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in each strip, which were likely used to reinforce the spines of later bindings. Each strip varies slightly in content, with some containing only main body text, others featuring main text with gloss, and a few solely consisting of gloss text. These fragments offer a fascinating glimpse into the legal texts compiled during Justinian's reign. The Latin inscriptions on these medieval manuscripts provide valuable insights into the laws and regulations that governed society centuries ago. The delicate nature of these strips highlights their historical significance and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by ancient civilizations. As we marvel at these remnants from the past, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. This print is not just a visual representation but also a tangible link to our shared history, connecting us with those who came before us.
