PANDECTS (Lat. pandecta, adapted from Gr. vrai ,crr)s, all-containing)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 675 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANDECTS (Lat. pandecta, adapted from Gr. vrai ,crr)s, all-containing) , a name given to a compendium or digest of
Roman
  law compiled by order of the emperor Justinian in the 6th
century
  (A.D. 530533). The pandects were divided into fifty books, each
book
  containing several titles, divided into
laws
 , and the
laws
  into several parts or paragraphs. The number of jurists from whose
works
  extracts were made is thirty-nine, but the writings of Ulpian and
Paulus
  make up quite half the
work
 . The
work
  was declared to be the
sole
  source of non-
statute
  law: commentaries on the compilation were forbidden, or even the citing of the
original
 
works
  of the jurists for the explaining of ambiguities in the text. See JUSTINIAN; and
ROMAN
  LAW.
