In the sixth century, Justinian I, Emperor of the East, instructed a commission of jurists to compile and correct the classical Roman laws. The commission produced what became known in the West as the Corpus Iuris Civilis. This compilation of Roman laws consists of five separate texts: the Codex constitutionum,1 the Digest, the Codex repetitae praelectionnis, the Novellae, and the Institutes.
