CODEX GREGORIA´NUS
CODEX GREGORIA´NUS a collection of imperial Roman
constitutions or enactments made by one Gregorianus, of whom nothing else is
known; its date is not earlier than A.D. 295, as it contained an
exemplum edicti Diocletiani et Maximiani of that year
(
Coll. leg. Mos. et Rom. 6.4). It comprised enactments of
the emperors between Septimius Severus (A.D. 195) and Diocletian and
Maximian (A.D. 285-305), and possibly even some as far back as Hadrian (A.D. 117-138). It was divided into Books, at least
thirty in number (
Fragm. Vat. §§ 266 a,
272, 285-8), and the Books into Titles and Rubrics, the topics being
arranged after the order of the perpetual Edict of Salvius Julianus.
