Course Content (Syllabus)
The course focuses on the major particularities that differentiate the byzantine legal system from its roman background, upon which it was institutionally and ideologically structured. Therefore, the teaching evolves around the nature and the functioning of the sources of byzantine law, the organization of the government, the administration of justice and the law of marriage. The course also examines the way in which the codified by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian roman law of the Digest became a political tool and also an object of scientific research in the medieval West from the 11th century onwards, leading to the formation of a common foundation on which were based the European legal codes that saw the light simultaneously with the creation of the nation - states in the 19th century.
