| abstract | - The Codex Justinianus (Code of Justinian) was the first of four parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis to be completed, on April 7, 529 A.D. Emperor Justinian I achieved lasting influence for his judicial reforms via the summation of all Roman law in the Corpus Juris Civilis ("Body of Civil Law"), a collection of fundamental works in jurisprudence, issued from AD 529 to 534 by his order. The Codex Justinianus was basically a revision of the Theodosian Code. Justinian's supplements to it consisted of his:
* "Digesta" (or Pandectae), a synopsis of passages from juristic books and law commentaries of the classical period, mostly dating back to the second and third centuries.
* "Institutiones", a modified codification of the celebrated Roman jurist Gaius' legislation. And the
* "Novellae", a number of new constitutions. All four of these together formed Justinian's Corpus of Civil Law which deeply influenced the Canon Law of the Western Church and the civil law of Medieval Europe. The Code's underlying claim that the emperor's will was supreme in all things made imperial control of the Church legal and thus deeply influenced the subsequent development of the Byzantine Church. It remains influential to this day. By way of the Napoleonic Code (AD 1804), the Justinian Code reached Canada in the Province of Quebec, and was later introduced by French immigrants to Louisiana in the United States.
