Justinian is the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire and divides the power of the throne equally with his wife. Gibbon says: "The reign of Justinian and Theodora supplies the one gleam of light during the Dark Ages. At that time the Roman Law was contained in five thousand books which no fortune could buy, and no intellect could comprehend." The Law then was about where our Law is to-day. To meet the difficulty Justinian, on the suggestion of Theodora, carried the Roman Law Books into the street and made a bonfire of them. With the help of his wife he then compiled the book known to us as the "Justinian Code," upon which the Common Law of England is built. This drama gives the reasons which actuated the man and woman in their work. Quite a bookish book, done with much joy in three colors, on Byzantine hand-made paper, with special initials, title-page and portraits.
