Manuscripta juridica

Glossae ad Digestum novum . Several layers of glosses, written by different scriveners, but they all wrote very neatly. No sigla. The layers were written in saec. XII.1. Some other glosses were added in the time period 1160-1170. Very few glosses added in later time periods.

The old layers preserve some tiny allegationes of the old type 'a.t.' or 'r.t.' (e.g. fol. 59va, 133va, 138va). Some of them even start with a paragraph sign (e.g. fol. 82va, 33rb). As this oldfashioned manner of starting an allegatio died out early in the 12th century, the allegationes in question are thus paricularly old. Most allegationes, however, comply with the more recent habit of using 's' or 'i' instead of 'r.' and 'a.'.

Notabilia are written in triangular shape.

Text-explaining glosses are frequent in some rubrics of the Digesta and rare in others. They are usually written between the lines of the text, in tiny characters (e.g. fol. 28ra-38rb = D.41.1). At times they can also be encountered on the margins, in equally tiny script.

D.50.17 has but allegationes. No text-explaining glosses.
