The discovery of the Pandects of Justinian at Amalfi , in 1137 , and the school of civil law , op ^ ied at Bologna , which was in such reputation in the twelfth century , that Becket and other Eftglishttien went to study there ,
assisted to iinprove both England and Europe- The Institutes of Justinian contain a fund of jurisprudential wisdom , the most , sagacious produce of the Roman intellect , which imparted no small improvement to the imperfect inoral reasoning of the middle ages .
Our clerical chancellors were usually proficients in this study ; and it h not unreasonable to ascribe some pottion of the high and strict rules of equity which have prevailed in the English Court of Chancery , to the ancient study of the Roman Pandects . " In this review of the History of
