Description

English summary: This fifth volume of the Etymologiae contains two texts: De legibus and De temporibus. The first is a compilation on Roman law in 27 chapters treating subjects from divine and human law, natural law, civil law, and the power of normative law and the characteristics of ideal law. This encyclopedic text and manual of institutions was influential for the Lex Visigothorum and medieval legal philosophy.
