Scope and Contents

The lectures, delivered in two courses between November 1777 and May 1778, appear to be those on the ‘Institutes’ of Justinian given by Millar to students in the first year of their legal studies. The first course, in 73 lectures (folios 1-88), gave an overview of the text, while the second, in 46 lectures, February-May 1777 (folios 89-292), studied the ‘Institutes’ in more detail.

The notes are in longhand, but with a few shorthand additions.

Dates: 1777-1778.
