On the Circulation of the First Printed Editions of the Digest in the Changing Context of the Santa Fe de Bogota and San Francisco de Quito Royal Audiences (16th-18th centuries)
Abstract
The present work reviews the relations of Indianous Law with Romanist legal science, through its main work, Justinian’s Digest. More specifically, it deals with the issues that came to the Royal Audiences of Santa Fe de Bogota and San Francisco de Quito. The editions of the Digest found in these Andean cities’ old archives and libraries prove that Roman law was present in Indianous law and that such application was not simply formal but also material, as evidenced by the large number of editions existing in those hardly discovered territories.Downloads
