corpus juris civilis

Corpus Juris Civilis (kor-p[schwa]s joor-is s[schwa]-vil-is or s[schwa]-v I-lis). The body of the civil law, compiled and codified under the direction of the Roman emperor Justinian in A.D. 528–556. • The collection includes four works — the Institutes, the Digest (or Pandects), the Code, and the Novels. The title Corpus Juris Civilis was not original, or even early, but was modeled on the Corpus Juris Canonici and given in the 16th century and later to editions of the texts of the four component parts of the Roman law. See ROMAN LAW. Cf. JUSTINIAN CODE.
