Abstract

This essay is a first, partial skeleton of a larger work, currently under way, on the palingenesis of the Emperor Julian’s constitutions. The normative production of the last pagan Emperor requires a broader discussion leading to a comprehensive study, where a reliable reconstructive hypothesis can serve as useful background. This palingenesis covers the period from 355, when Julian was Caesar in Gaul, to his death (27 june 363), and will be conducted on all types of sources, legal, extrajuridic, epigraphic, relying on the works of the same Julian, in particular the letters, some of which are official documents with a clear normative value. In this work I have tried, for the meantime, to explain some problems of attribution emerged from a first reading of the Theodosian Code.
