Alexander M. Burrill · 1850

Lat. (The breviary, or abridgment of Alaric, or of Anian.) A code of law compiled by order of Alaric II., king of the Visigoths, for the use of the Romans living in his empire, published A. D. 506. It was collected by a committee of sixteen Roman lawyers from the Codex Gregorianus, Hermogenianus, and Theodosianus, some of the later novels, and the writings of Gaius, Paulus and Papinianus. In the middle ages it is commonly referred to, under the titles Corpus Theodosianum, Lex Theodosiana, Liber Legum, or Lex Romana. 1 Mackeld. Civ. Law, 49, § 59.
