Note 44 — II THE EXTENSION OF ROMAN AND ENGLISH LAW THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
Reading edition
These decreta of the Emperor were reckoned among his Constitutiones (as to which see Essay XIV, vol. ii. p. 308 sqq.). There does not seem to have been any public record kept and published of them, but many of them would doubtless become diffused through the law schools and otherwise. The first regular collections of imperial constitutions known to us belong to a later time.
