Breviary Alaric’s Breviary
Breviary Alaric’s Breviary 《阿拉里克罗马法辑要》；《西哥特罗马法典》 西哥特〔Visigoths〕国王阿拉里克二世〔King Alaric Ⅱ，485-507〕为其王国境内的罗马人编纂的一部法典，由一个经国王任命、由当时的立法大臣阿尼安努斯〔Anianus〕领导的委员会编纂，公元506年由民众大会通过。该法典意在简化繁杂的罗马法，并力图使罗马法因素与其民族习惯相融合，因此它以许多罗马法典为基础，其中包括《狄奥多西法典》〔Codex Theodosianus〕；《盖尤斯简编》〔Epitome Gaii〕，这是盖尤斯《法学阶梯》〔Institutes〕的缩略本；保罗的《判决录》〔Sententiae〕；《格列高利法典》〔Codex Gregorianus〕；《赫莫杰尼安努斯法典》〔Codex Hermogenianus〕；巴比尼安的《解答录》〔Responsum〕及后来的一些新法典。公元654年利塞斯威斯〔Recesswinth〕颁布罗马人和西哥特人统一适用的《西哥特法典》〔Lex Visigothorum〕之后，这部法典被废止。尽管如此，它还在法国南部和伦巴第〔Lombardy〕继续使用，同时传播到了法兰克王国。它的质量使它成为中世纪西欧的权威着作，并是罗马法继受〔Reception〕之前罗马法进入西欧法律的主要途径。 (=Breviarium Alaricianum; Lex Romana Visigothorum; Breviarium Aniani；Law of Alaric)
