A copy of the Pandects discovered accidentally about the year 11387, at Amalphi, a town in Italy, near Salerno. From Amalphi, the copy found its way to Pisa, and, Pisa having submitted tothe Florentines in 1406, the copy was removed in great triumph to Florence. By direction of the magistrates of the town, it was immediately bound in a superb mantorch-light, in the presence of two magiatrates, and two Cisterciun monks, with their heads uncovered. They have been succes. sively collated by Politian, Bolognini, and Antonius Augustinus. An exact copy of them was published in 1553 by Franciscus Taurellus. For its accuracy and beauty, this edition ranks high among the ornaments of the press. Brencliman, who collated the manuscript about 1710, reters it fo the sixth century.
