The Codex Gregorianus (Latin Codex Gregorianus ) is the earliest codification of imperial constitutions undertaken in the reign of Diocletian by a certain Gregorian, or Gregorian.
The constitutions are systematized in the code in chronological order and distributed into 14 books. This Codex Gregorianus was often quoted under the later Roman emperors, and probably together with the subsequent Codex Hermogenianus and Codex Theodosianus was the basis for the Justinian Codex .
It was believed that the text of the Gregorian codex has not been preserved to this day, however, in early 2010, English researchers ( Benet Salvey and Simon Corcoran ) announced the discovery of a manuscript with fragments of the codex [1] .
