2016
Abstract
The article analyses the legal handbook Manipulus vel directorium iuris civilis of the 80s of the 14th century. The author is probably Jan of Gelnhausen, who worked as a clerk and a public notary in Bohemia and Moravia.
The manuscript has 1,389 articles. A relatively autonomous (from the content) part of the Manipulus, forms the incorporation of the last two titles of 50. book of Digest, 16th title De verborum significatione and 17th title De diversis regulis iuris antiqui.
They are included as Articles 834 to 1,270 under the letter "R" and under the title De regulis iuris et de verborum significatio. Manipulus documents the knowledge of roman legal texts in czech medieval law.
