REDHIS: Rediscovering the hidden structure

REDHIS: Rediscovering the hidden structure 

The aim of Redhis is a new appreciation of Roman legal culture in Late Antiquity. The project  focuses on the elements which display the persistence of an high-level legal culture. Two are the main aspects that will be researched. First, a comprehensive understanding of legal culture has to include the study of the legal texts’ manuscript transmission. Although in Late Antiquity few works were composed anew, the books of the main classical jurists of previous centuries were copied, read and studied in the school and cited in the courts. A full appreciation of the remains of such copies in papyri and parchment – which has been neglected here so far – will explain how the lawyers of the 4th and 5th centuries AD kept in touch with the achievements of previous jurists. Secondly, Late Antiquity is considered to be the epoch of the emperors’ legislation, in opposition to the previous epoch dominated by private jurists. Nevertheless, an analysis of the motivations of the emperors’ decisions will show the mental proceeding of the lawgivers and, at the same time, will show a deep relationship with the works of the roman jurists. The project will be developed, under the direction of the Principal Investigator, by three research teams, with a strong cross-disciplinary composition. A wide collection of papyri and parchments will be edited, as a basis for a new  interpretation, which will be the second part of the project.

The research project Redhis “Rediscovering the hidden structure. A new appreciation of Juristic texts and Patterns of thought in Late Antiquity” has begun its five year activity on February 1st, 2014. It is a project selected and funded as ERC Advanced Grant 2013. Principal Investigator is professor Dario Mantovani, Senior Staff professor Luigi Pellecchi. Host Institution: University of Pavia, Italy.

The following preliminary editions produced by REDHIS are currently hosted by DCLP/Papyri.info. The full editions with commentaries and apparatus will appear in the forthcoming corpus of Latin and Greek juristic papyri edited by Dario Mantovani, Serena Ammirati, Marco Fressura, Luigi Pellecchi. In the spirit of amicitia papyrologorum and in respect of intellectual property rights REDHIS asks that the preliminary editions of REDHIS are not used to produce new editions that anticipate the printed corpus. 
Suggestions and remarks communicated to the REDHIS staff and leading to an improvement of the texts will be most welcome and fully acknowledged: please contact Dario Mantovani <dario.mantovani@college-de-france.fr>.
