The Institutes of Justinian in French
Anonymous Thirteenth-Century Translation – Edited by Félix Olivier-Martin
Recueil Sirey, Paris, 1935

An important scholarly edition published by the Société d'Histoire du Droit and Recueil Sirey in 1935, presenting an anonymous thirteenth-century French translation of Justinian's Institutes, accompanied by a substantial introduction by the distinguished legal historian Félix Olivier-Martin. The volume is an important source for the study of the medieval reception of Roman law and the transmission of the Corpus Juris Civilis in medieval Europe.

Originally promulgated in 533 A.D., the Institutes formed part of the Corpus Juris Civilis and served as the official introductory textbook for Roman law students. Their influence on the development of continental civil law has been profound. This 1935 edition is especially valued because it preserves one of the earliest known French translations together with a critical historical introduction.
