Scriptores Iuris Romani. On Schiavone’s Project of Roman Legal Writers and their first volume on Quintus Mucius Scaevola . Scriptores Iuris Romani is a new edition of the works of the Roman jurists, comparable to that of any other author of Antiquity. Under the stewardship of A. Schiavone, this new edition undertakes to replace Mommsen’s edition of the Digest and Lenel’s ‘Palingenesia Iuris Civilis’. Due to its basis in the ‘approccio biografico’, and also due to a naive attitude towards the problems of the textual tradition – which becomes obvious in the editorial choices made by E. Stolfi, who is in charge of this volume on Mucius –, the edition of Mucius’ Opera is not as reliable as it should be. The whole enterprise must be considered an important achievement of scholarship on Mucius, but will neither replace Mommsen nor Lenel.
