Work record
The Codex Justinianus
The imperial constitutions collected and made authoritative under Justinian, the first part of the compilation and the one completed in fourteen months.
Unverifieddraft
The first of Justinian's three books, and the one the essay notes took only fourteen months, against the three years the Digest took and the ten it was given.
Recorded separately from the Digest and the Institutes because the three had different purposes, different methods and different afterlives, and the essay treats them distinctly.
