Retained complete printed pages: 74, 75, 133, 134, 135, 146, 147, 148, 149,
160, 161. Pages 160-161 were added on 2026-10-31.
Downloaded as JPEGs from the item's page-image endpoint on 2026-10-29.
Printed page numbers were checked against the visible images. The endpoint
uses n=(printed page + 63) for these pages; this is not the leafNum field
in the item's OCR page-number metadata. The images have not been cropped,
retouched, generated or relabelled as an ancient manuscript.

The 1904 text and faithful page reproductions are public-domain material.
The project's PolyForm Noncommercial license covers its own code, drawings, new translations
and word notes; it does not replace third-party font licenses.

Transcription policy: join printed line wraps; print consonantal u as v;
retain spelling such as conpletur, inpleta, conpetit and adfectu; use angle
brackets for editorially supplied words and [...] for omitted text. The
project's readable English is a new close translation, distinct from the
1904 English visible on each page. Textual restorations are evidence of an
editor's reading, not silent claims about a complete ancient witness.

Roman law treated enslaved people as property and distributed legal
capacity unequally. That evidence and historical translations remain in
the complete pages. The workshop's invented cases use objects and land.

River workshop, added 2026-10-31:
Digest of Justinian, 41.1.7.1, .2, .6, and opening of .13, attributed by the
compilation to Gaius, book two of Res cottidianae sive aurea. The Digest
was compiled in 533 CE; these are not extra paragraphs of Gaius's Institutes.
No date of legal change or resolution of attribution is inferred here.

Latin page evidence: Corpus Iuris Civilis, volume I, Editio stereotypa sexta,
Institutiones recognovit Paulus Krueger; Digesta recognovit Theodorus Mommsen.
Berlin: Weidmann, 1893 (MDCCCXCIII on the scanned title page; the Archive
catalogue field says 1892). Complete printed pages 644-645.

The page-number JSON uses leafNum 760/761; the image endpoint uses n759/760.
Printed page numbers and the Latin passages were checked in the actual images.
The page images are unchanged, including a reader's marks. This historical
edition and its faithful reproductions are public domain. New English and
phrase notes are original to this lesson, not Mommsen's or a modern published
translation. Complete page 645 retains the continuation omitted after the
opening of 41.1.7.13. Independent Latin comparison:
