Tracce di ‘improbus intestabilisque’ nella Parafrasi di Teofilo e nei Basilici

Abstract

The research is a part of a wider study on the improbitas and the so called intestabilitas in the Roman sources and focuses on analysis of a passage of the Theophilus’Paraphrase (2.10.6) and some σχόλια added to the Basilica [especially, Sch. 1 ad Bas. 39.1(Pb).6 e Sch. 3 ad Bas. 21.1(Pa).14] – texts that have not been taken into account (except for PT. 2.10.6 only) by the scholars who studied the implications associated with the improbus intestabilisque esse. The Author aims to verify the presence of traces of that institute in the aforementioned Byzantine sources, which may be useful for a more complete reconstruction of the historical evolution of the Roman formulaic improbus intestabilisque terminology.
