Iuris Historia. Liber amicorum Gero Dolezalek ed. by Vincenzo Colli and Emanuele Conte (review)

Book Reviews IURIS HISTORIA. LIBER AMICORUM GERO DOLEZALEK edited by Vincenzo Colli and Emanuele Conte. Berkeley, CA: Robbins Collection Publications, 2008. Gero Dolezalek, professor at St.Andrew’s University, is probably best known for his irreplaceable Verzeichnis der Handschriften zum römischen Recht bis 1600 published in 1972; but the volume issued in his honor by his friends and students will leave no reader unaware of his powerful influence on European medieval legal history in general. This is not only evident from the list of his numerous print and internet publications (pp. xiii–xxiv), but also and especially from the comprehensive range of topics that the assembled essays represent. They are mostly related to various aspects of Dolezalek’s own work. As far as possible, the editors arranged the papers chronologically, beginning with two papers discussing the conceivable origin and intermittent home of the sixthcentury codex Florentinus:Annalisa Belloni, “Un’ipotesi per le Pandette fiorentine” (pp. 1–16); Antonio Ciaralli, “Materiali per una storia del diritto in Italia Meridionale. ‘Kleine Ergänzungen’ alla storia del codex Florentinus” (pp. 17–35). These are followed by essays with a primary emphasis on civilian legal developments subsequent to the rediscovery of Justinian’s Digest around 1070: Carmen Tort-Martorell, “En torno a Pesaro 26, un manuscrito epitomado del Codex Iustinianus” (pp. 37–60); Martin Bertram and Paola Maffei, “A Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Chapter Library of La Seu d’Urgell” (pp. 61–72), impressive comments that are now replaced by the edition itself: Catálogo de los manuscritos jurídicos de la Biblioteca Capitular de La Seu d’Urgell, elaborado bajo la direcci ón deAntonio García y García.
