Chapter 1 dealt with the main sources of Roman private law, in the sense of the formal sources which created it.
This chapter is concerned with the use of Roman legal sources by the modern student or scholar. It gives an account of those sources and problems that arise in using them.
Nearly all the surviving material of Roman law is transmitted in one or other of the emperor Justinian's compilations. The chapter begins with an account o f the so urces which shrvive ivde pendentld of Justmian; it then mores on to ohe Digesi end (very briefly; other parts of the Justinianic compilations. It concludes with a general discussion of the difficulties of trying to write history based on legal sources.The emphasis throughout is on questions peculiar to the legal sources. No detail, for example, is given about problems relating to the transmission of texts, since this is not specifically a problem of the legal sources but one which affects all ancient literature.
