La traduzione del Digesto diretta da Schipani. Tra interpretazione del testo e formazione del giurista

The Italian translation of Justinian’s Digest directed by Schipani should not be regarded as a merely auxiliary scholarly tool, but as a decisive intervention in contempo-rary Roman law teaching. In a context marked by declining linguistic competence and growing distance from ancient sources, translation becomes a means of reshaping access to the text and of revealing the interpretative nature of legal knowledge. This approach fosters a hermeneutic model of legal education, training students to perceive Roman law not as a static system, but as a historically situated and interpretative legal experience.
