Notes

Initial C
This leaf is from a copy of the Corpus iuris civilis, a compendium of Roman law commissioned in 529 by the Byzantine emperor Justinian and compiled by the legal scholar Tribonian. The Corpus comprises three parts: the Digest (or Pandectae), the Institutions, and the Codex. The initial C begins the prologue to Book X of the Codex, the part that contained all of the extant imperial constitutions from the time of Hadrian.
This image, true recto of this leaf, shows the conclusion to Book IX.
Initial Q
The initial Q begins Book VI of the Codex, the part that contained all of the extant imperial constitutions from the time of Hadrian.
