"Conventio in Digest 2.14 and its interpretation in the Basilica"
The beginnin
g of the title de pactis D. 2.14, in which we find the defin
ition of conventio, has been the subject of much doctrinal d
ebate. These debates focused, particularly in the first half of the t
wentieth century, on the presence of interpolations in the passage, b
ut also on the value, subjective or objective, to be attached to the
notion of conventio. This concept is analyzed in several anc
ient scholia handed down through the Basilica. Their study reveals th
at Byzantine jurists were first confronted with the problem of transl
ating this notion into Greek, which was then rendered differently.

DESCRIPTION: "Conventio in Digest 2.14 and its interpretation in the B asilica" The beginning of the title de pactis D. 2.14, in wh ich we find the definition of conventio, has been the subjec t of much doctrinal debate. These debates focused, particularly in th e first half of the twentieth century, on the presence of interpolati ons in the passage, but also on the value, subjective or objective, t o be attached to the notion of conventio. This concept is an alyzed in several ancient scholia handed down through the Basilica. T heir study reveals that Byzantine jurists were first confronted with the problem of translating this notion into Greek, which was then ren dered differently. Conventio is repeatedly understood subjec tively, but we also find examples of objective interpretation.Prof. dr.
