REGULATIONS REGARDING THE “ANTE NUPTIAS” AND “POST NUPTIAS” GIFTS IN THE CODE OF CONSTANTIN HARMENOPULOS AND THE PRAVILA OF ALEXANDRU IPSILANTI

Summary/Abstract: The return to “ad fontes”, that is, to the sources of Roman and Byzantine law, gave us the opportunity to make new contributions to the legal regime of the “ante” and “post nuptias” gifts, while offering us the opportunity to ascertain that the legal doctrine created by the famous Roman jurisconsults of the centuries I-III BC has had a decisive impact on the jurists of the following centuries, both with regard to matrimonial law and property law. These realities are confirmed both by the text of certain imperial constitutions and by the monumental legal collections (Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis and the Basilika of Basil I the Macedonian). Known as the “Imperial Pravilas”, these Byzantine texts of law were the first-hand documentary source for the later Byzantine codes of law, such as the Code of Constantine Harmenopoulos (1345), and for the laws composed and published during the Phanariot reigns over the Romanian Principalities, as was the case with Alexander Ipsilanti's Pravila.
