Dear Law-lib'ers & Int-law'ers
I apologize in advance for cross-posting, but I wanted to let as many potentially-interested users as possible know that the Annotated Justinian Code web site is up and running at http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/blume&justinian/default.asp. We posted it in late 2007, just before the holidays, and are satisfied now that it's ready for public consumption.
Some of you may have read (all right, skimmed) my LLJ article "Justice Fred Blume and the Translation of Justinian's Code" (99 Law Library J. 525 (2007)). This is the web site I mention in that article (partially made possible by an AALL/Aspen research grant). It contains PDFs of Justice Blume's copiously annotated (4,500+ pages) English translation of Justinian's Code-the only English translation made from the Latin version regarded as most authoritative. (Scott's heavily criticized translation was made from another.)
The site also contains: Blume's scanned translation of the Novels; his 100+ page "The Code of Justinian, and it's Value"-an address he delivered part of to the Riccobono Society in 1938 but which has never been published; and a few other Blume-related items.
I hope some of you will find this site useful some day and will let me know how it might be improved.
