Title: &#7960;&nu;&tau;&omicron;&lambda;&#942; (mandatum) in Den Basiliken
Description: In Entolē (mandatum) in den Basiliken" Hylkje de Jong deals with the way the Byzantine jurists of the early period (6th and early 7th century) and later period (11th and 12th century) dealt with the law of mandate as they found this in respectively Justinian's compilation and in the 9th century Basilica. Commonly characterised as consistent Byzantine dogmatics, the remarks of these Byzantine jurists appear to be in reality individual approaches, coloured by each jurist's own methodology of interpreting. Based upon the Basilica texts, the law of mandate is set out thematically: the mandate's object, the liability of parties, actions, remunerations. De Jong proves convincingly that the Byzantine remarks provide a better understanding of Justinian Roman law.--
