• Extra informatie: - Tammo Wallinga’s critical edition of The Casus Codicis of Wilhelmus de Cabriano presents a critical rediscovery in the field of medieval legal history. This long-lost commentary on Justinian’s Codex - written around the mid-1150s - is attributed to Wilhelmus de Cabriano, likely a reportator for the the Glossator Bulgarus, who worked at the University of Bologna. The author's life remains obscure. The Casus Codicis of Wilhelmus de Cabriano hold significant importance for the study of Ius Commune, the shared legal tradition that developed in medieval Europe based on Roman and canon law. As one of the earliest and most substantial pre-Accursian commentaries on Justinian’s Codex, this work represents a vital piece of the doctrinal foundation upon which the Ius Commune was built. The Casus Codicis, once frequently cited by 12th-century jurists like Odofredus and Johannes Bassianus, offer not mere hypothetical cases but detailed commentaries on imperial legislation. Their rediscovery, largely thanks to Dolezalek, revealed a work of unexpected depth and sophistication - contradicting earlier dismissive opinions like that of Kantorowicz. The manuscript sheds light on pre-Accursian legal interpretation and provides rare insight into the formative period of the glossators at Bologna, the birthplace of modern legal scholarship. Despite their decline in popularity after Azo’s Summa Codicis, the Casus continued to appear in inventories well into the 15th century, indicating enduring interest.
