{"product_id":"ulpianus-ido-israelowich-9781836244288","title":"Ulpianus: On the Duty of the Proconsul","description":"\u003cp\u003eCn. Domitius Annius Ulpianus (170-223 CE) was a prominent Roman jurist, magistrate, and occasionally a member of the imperial inner circle. He is the most cited jurist in Justinian's Digest. Ulpian composed his treatise on the duties of the proconsul, along with much of his juristic corpus, between 213 and 217 CE, in the aftermath of the enactment of the \u003ci\u003eConstitutio Antoniniana\u003c\/i\u003e, in the formulation of which he may have been involved. The work addresses all responsibilities of the provincial governor as both an embodiment and representative of the Roman judiciary within his assigned province. It is the most detailed treatise on provincial governance to have survived. Moreover, Books 7-9 provide a rare exposition of Roman criminal law. Like the works of most jurists cited in Justinian's \u003ci\u003eDigest\u003c\/i\u003e (with the exception of Gaius' Institutes), Ulpian's treatise survived primarily through the mediation of the \u003ci\u003eDigest\u003c\/i\u003e's compilers. However, this treatise was also used by the compilers of at least two other late antique legal works: the \u003ci\u003eCollatio Legum Mosaicarum et Romanarum\u003c\/i\u003e and the collection known as the \u003ci\u003eFragments Vaticana\u003c\/i\u003e. Additionally, the Christian author Lactantius referenced this work. Following in the footsteps of Otto Lenel, this edition utilizes all available sources and offers an extensive commentary on all aspects of the work and text, as well as a translation and detailed Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ido Israelowich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836244282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836244288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Ido Israelowich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46807141613823,"sku":"9781836244288","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0365a65-a1d7-44da-92e8-e9eb343e5008.jpg?v=1745378660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ulpianus-ido-israelowich-9781836244288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
