For the 5th generetion Jewish Amoraim Amora sage of Babylon , see Rav Mesharshiya . M sarjawaih was one of the earliest Arabic Jewish physicians , and the earliest translator from the Syriac he lived in Basra about 683 Anno Hegirae 64 . His name, distorted, has been transmitted in European sources it has not yet been satisfactorily explained. Neuda in Orient, Lit. vi. 132 compares the name Masarjawaih with the Hebrew proper name Mesharsheya but the ending waih points to a Persian language Persian origin. The form Masarjis has been compared with the Christian proper name Mar Serjis but it is not known that Masarjis embraced either Christianity or Islam . Masarjawaih s son, who also was a translator, and was the author of two treatises on colors and on foods , was called Isa name Isa , that is, Jesus which name, of course, points to the fact that this son had been converted to Christianity. Masarjawaih translated the medical Pandects of the archdeacon or presbyter Aaron fl. c. 610 641 from the Syriac into Arabic and added to the thirty chapters of this translation two of his own. This is believed to be the first scientific book to have been translated into Arabic. He also wrote in Arabic two treatises, The Virtues of Foods, Their Advantage and Their Disadvantage , and The Virtues of the Medicinal Plants, Their Advantage and Their Disadvantage . None of these three writings has been preserved. Their contents, however, are known to a certain extent by quotations. How much Masarjawaih added to the translation of Aaron s pandects can hardly be decided, as the works themselves are preserved in fragments only.

Antiochus of Palestine , also known as Antiochus Strategos http www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org jsource History jerusalemsack.html and Antiochus the Monk , was a 7th century monk . He is believed to have been born near Ankara Ancyra now Ankara, Turkey . He lived first as a wikt solitary solitary , then became a monk and Abbot of the famous Lavra monastery of mar Saba St. Saba near Jerusalem . He witnessed the Sassanid Empire Persian invasion of Palestine in 614, and the massacre of forty four of his companions by the Bedouin s. In 619, five years after the conquest of the Holy Land by Khosrau II Chosroes , Ancyra was taken and destroyed by the Persians, which compelled the monks of the neighbouring monastery of Attaline to leave their home, and to move from place to place. As they were, naturally, unable to carry many books with them, the Abbot Eustathius asked his friend Antiochus to compile an abridgment of Holy Scripture for their use, and also a short account of the martyr dom of the forty four monks of St. Sabbas. In compliance with this request he wrote a work known as the Pandects of Holy Scripture in 130 chapters, mistaken by the Latin translator for as many homilies . It is a collection of moral sentences, drawn from Scripture and from early ecclesiastical writers. He also wrote an Exomologesis or prayer, in which he relates the miseries that had befallen Jerusalem since the Persian invasion, and begs the divine mercy to heal the Holy City s many ills. These works seem to have been written in the period between the conquest of Palestine by Chosroes and its reconquest by the Emperor Heraclius in 628. The introductory chapter of the Pandects tells of the martyrdom referred to its last chapter contains a list of heresy heretics from Simon Magus to the Monophysitism Monophysite followers of Severus of Antioch .

The most important of his writings which have been preserved in his Summary on the Authentica , which Friedrich Karl von Savigny Savigny regarded as one of the most precious works of the Glossators . sfn Chisholm 1911 Joannes, as he is generally termed, was remarkable for his talent in inventing ingenious forms for explaining his ideas with greater precision, and perhaps his most celebrated work is his Law Tree, which he entitled Arbor Arborum , and which has been the subject of numerous commentaries. The work presents a tree, upon the branches of which the various kinds of actions are arranged after the manner of fruit. The civil actions, or actiones stricti juris , being forty eight in number, are arranged on one side, whilst the equitable or praetorian actions, in number one hundred and twenty one, are arranged on the other side. sfn Chisholm 1911 A further scientific division of actions was made by him under twelve heads, and by an ingenious system of notation the student was enabled to class at once each of the civil or praetor ian actions, as the case might be, under its proper head in the scientific division. By the side of the tree a few glosses were added by Joannes to explain and justify his classification. His Lectures on the Pandects and the Code, which were collected by his pupil Nicolaus Furiosus , have unfortunately perished. sfn Chisholm 1911 References reflist Attribution Cite EB1911 wstitle Bassianus, Joannes Further reading Francis Zulueta and Peter Stein, eds., Introduction, The Teaching of Roman Law in England Around 1200 The Selden Society, 1990 1911 Category Italian jurists Bassianus it Giovanni Bassiano ... more details

His colleagues were Tribonian and Theophilus and their work was accomplished in 533. He also helped compile the second edition of the Corpus Juris Civilis Codex Constitutionum published in 534 . In 542, as a commentary on the Digest, he published what is called the Index. Fragments of this commentary, which was in the Greek language , have been preserved in the Scholia appended to the body of law compiled by order of the emperor Basil I Basilius the Macedonian and his son Leo VI the Wise Leo the Wise , in the 9th century, known as the Basilica . From this, it seems probable that the commentary of Dorotheus contained the substance of a course of lectures on the Digest delivered by him in the law school of Berytus, although it is not cast in a form so precisely didactic as the Index of Theophilus.

Quintus Pedius Paulus or Paullus 50 120 was a jurist of the Roman Empire . Paulus was of the gens Pedius , who were Romans of consular rank. His cognomen Paulus suggests he could related to the gens Aemilius . Paulus was a contemporary to the Ancient Rome Roman jurist Massurius Sabinus . He is known from the writings of Pomponius . Paulus original and independent ideas are only known from the quotations from the Roman jurists Paul jurist Julius Paulus , Ulpian Domitius Ulpianus and Julian . The quotations have survived because the works were not directly accepted in the Pandects Digest . Paulus was the legal author of extensive commentary on the edicts or proclamations on the Praetorian Guard and aedile . Paulus had written two legal publications, which were the Libri ad Edictum which Julius Paulus quotes the twenty fifth passage and Libri de Stipulationibus . In the Libri de Stipulationibus , Paulus demonstrates that he had the true, right perception and understanding of legal interpretation. At one instance, Paulus states in a passage as quoted by Julius Paulus It is best not to scrutinize the proper signification of words, but mainly what the testator has intended to declare in the next place, what is the opinion of those who live in each district. In another passage from the Libri de Stipulationibus as quoted by Domitius Ulpianus, Paulus observes That when one or two things are introduced by a lex law , it is a good ground for supplying the rest which tends to the same useful purpose by interpretation, or at least by jurisdiction.
