- It would seem uncontroversial in an age of humanist philology to claim that the Corpus Juris Civilis in its pristine form and with its historical sense restored to it would be more authoritative than first the gloss, second the postglossators’ additions to the gloss, and finally the elucubrations of subsequent generations of jurists on the postglossators’ additions.
