Note 208 — BOOK II
Reading edition
“When the nature of the case is inquired into; and since the dispute is concerned with the real meaning and classification of the matter at stake, this is called the constitutio generalis.” 2, 5, 3. This is the general heading under which all the sub-heads classified under finis should have been placed. Isidore made a mistake in copying from Cassiodorus, in whom the classification is correct.
