Abstract

The Author suggests a preliminary remark on the activity of linguistic transposition performed by Theophilus with the Paraphrase and on the value of the teaching provided by the antecessor. The fact that Theophilus was one of the main architects and builders of Institutiones induces the Author to believe that the real teaching of Theophilus was contained in the imperial handbook, in respect of which the Paraphrase is presented as a work for completion and perfectioning: but for the professor of Constantinople the Paraphrase represented a “golden opportunity” not only to translate to the students an obscure Latin text, but to explain the institutional concise contents in the light of one’s previous culture and knowledges acquired during the preparation of the Digesta. Thus allowing Iustiniani novi to recover the cultural heritage of the Romans and the technical knowledge of law necessary to face the future responsabilities which the emperor would have committed them.
