Riflessioni su D. 50.16.130 (Ulp. 2 ad leg. Iul. et Pap.)

2013

The research focuses on analysis of a well-known fragment of Justinian’s Digesta: 50.16.130 (Ulp. 2 ad leg. Iul. et Pap.). Formerly, several scholars have raised many doubts regard to its authenticity. The author’s basic idea is that there are not solid issues in favor of the hypothesis that the fragment is not genuine. On the contrary, both the examination of the terminology, used in the fragment, and the comparison between D. 50.16.130 and other sources (in particular: D. 38.16.1 pr.; 5.3.1 e 3; Tit. Ulp. 11.2-3; 11.14) might provide interesting evidences in support of its classical content.

Sul valore delle espressioni ‘dicis gratia’ e ‘dicis causa’ nel linguaggio dei giuristi

2015

Auctor de locutionibus ‘dicis gratia’ ac ‘dicis causa’ in iurisperitorum lingua significationem inuestigat. Haec uocabula forsitan propria iurisconsultorum ueteris sermonis sunt (arg. ex Varro de ling. Lat. 6.61). Non est inverisimile quod Gaius (in Gai 1.141, 1.190, 2.103-104, 2.252) illorum uerborum pristinum ualorem resonat. The A. investigates the meaning of the terms ‘dicis gratia’ and ‘dicis causa’ in the legal sources. Probably these expressions belong to the ancient Roman legal lexicon (arg. ex Varro de ling. Lat. 6.61). In the jurisprudential texts [Gai 1.141, 1.190, 2.103 and 104, 2.252, D. 13.6.4 (Gai. 1 de verb. obl.), 29.5.1.34 (Ulp. 50 ad ed.)] dicis gratia and dicis causa do …

Osservazioni su Gai 2.108

2008

L’indagine muove da un luogo tratto dalle Institutiones di Gaio, Gai 2.108, nel quale si attesta, da un lato, la capacità a fungere da testimoni, nel testamento librale, dei soggetti legati all’erede o al legatario da vincoli di adgnatio, nonché di questi ultimi (ipse quoque heres aut legatarius iure adhibeantur), dall’altro la non opportunità di impiegare come testimoni l’erede, quique in eius potestate est cuiusve is in potestate erit ed è volta ad accertare se sul punto sussistesse un dissidio fra i prudentes, di cui costituirebbe indizio la cautela con cui Gaio espone la questione. Muovendo da tale ipotesi, ci si interroga sia sulle ragioni per le quali, inizialmente, si ammetteva che i…

Confronto tra due impieghi compilatori di un testo di Marciano (A proposito del recente recupero di un manoscritto di Lauro Chiazzese)

2019

Moving from some perspectives of investigation emerged during the Roman law Seminar on ‘Orizzonti della critica testuale fra tradizione e nuovi indirizzi’, held in Palermo (16 november 2018), the A. examines a ‘comparison’ between texts, respectively, of Justinian’s Institutes and Digest [I. 2.11.5 = Marc. 4 inst. D. 29.1.22], analyzed by Lauro Chiazzese in the manuscript discovered and recently published by Giuseppe Falcone [Confronti testuali. Contributo alla dottrina delle interpolazioni giustinianee, Parte speciale (Materiali), collana Fonti - 4 degli Annali del Seminario giuridico dell’Università di Palermo, Torino 2018].

L'editto di Claudio del 44-45 d.C. e alcune concessioni agli abitanti di Volubilis

2012

The author deals with the issue concerning the conferment of various grants – including the Roman citizenship, and also the right of legal marriage with foreign women, immunity from taxation for ten years, new settlers, the right to the property of citizens killed in the war – by the Emperor Claudius in favor of the inhabitants of Volubilis in Mauretania through the analysis of three well-known inscriptions which record these benefits which the community have gained from Claudius: namely, IAMLat 369, 370a, 448.

The ὅρος ἤτοι ἐτυμολογία of testamentum and the problem of sources in the Paraphrase of Theophilus

2014

Among the problems long debated by the scholars of the Greek Paraphrase of Justinian’s Institutes, the most interesting was the one concerning the legal sources used by Theophilus; they indeed are not identical with Justinian’s Institutes. Furthermore, a point of view prevails that claims the Antecessor – during the editing of his Paraphrase – could also have taken into consideration Gaius’ Institutes. My speech is based on a close analysis of a well-known passage (Theoph. 2,10 pr. concerning the definition or etymology, ὅρος ἤτοι ἐτυμολογία, of testamentum) and it aims to re-examine how Theophilus managed his sources. The content of the principium is far wider and better articulated compar…

Ricerche sul testamentum per aes et libram, I. Il ruolo del familiae emptor (con particolare riguardo al formulario del testamento librale)

2011

Among the problems long debated by the scholars of the testament called per aes et libram, the most interesting was the one concerning the original character of the mancipio accipiens-familiae emptor. The speech is based on a close anaysis of the principal sources, that describe two periods in testamentum per aes et libram evolution’s (especially, Gai 2.102-108, PT. 2.10.1), but it also concern – more generally – the analysis of well-know passages (see, in particular, Tit. Ulp. 20.2-9; Gell., Noct. Att., 15.27.3; I. 2.10.1) about the treatment of genera testamentorum recognized by ius civile (testaments called calatis comitiis, in procinctu and per aes et libram of classical period). Furthe…

Nota minima sul comodato c.d. ad pompam vel ostentationem

2016

On the basis of the exegesis of certain texts in the Justinian’s Digest, namely 13.6.3.6 (Ulp. 28 ad ed.), 12.1.18.1 (Ulp. 7 disp.), 13.6.4 (Gai. 1 de verb. obl.), 46.3.67 (Marc. 13 dig.), the Author formulates some considerations on the commodatum so-called ad pompam vel ostentationem, pointing out that the applications related to that anomalous commodatum were more complex and not merely confined to the idea of exhibiting id quod usu non consumitur for ‘pomp’, id est (by doing) ‘ostentation’. The basic idea of the Author is that Ulpian has specifically designated two terms, ‘pompa vel ostentatio’, to refer to two different (but not opposing) application spheres, in an attempt to synthesis…
