Notes: This image shows the last leaf of the manuscript beginning Book 39 of a fifty-book collection of Roman laws known as the Digest, the first of three parts of the Corpus iuris civilis (Corpus of Civil Law) compiled by the legal scholar Tiborian under the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian (r. 527-565 A.D). Tiborian collected and organized the existing body of classical and current law into a coherent collection of legal doctrine. The Digest was divided into three parts; this book is the first of the third part, called the Digestum novum (New Digest). The remaining portion of this part of the Digest is missing in this manuscript or was never completed. The decoration of this leaf was left unfinished.
