Abstract
In 1549 the German Protestant Georg Fabricius (1516–71) edited the first short selection of Roman inscriptions specifically to focus on legal texts. This was a key moment in the history of classical epigraphy: for the first time in print a humanist explicitly demonstrated the value of such archaeological remains for the discipline of law, and implicitly accorded texts written on stone the same status of those recorded in manuscripts. This article situates Fabricius’ work within the antiquarian scholarship of his time. (pp. 96–107)
