The Historia Pandectarum is the most detailed introduction to the digest and has not been surpassed even today, not even by Mommsen`s praefatio on the editio maior. Stolte`s introduction presents readers with the problem of the text tradition of the digest from Brenkman`s viewpoint, with the latter`s life and work woven in. After placing the Codex Florentinus in the context of its edition history, Stolte traces out the developments, initiated by Brenkman, surpressed by Mommsen, and in recent times the center of attention for researchers. The objective was a closer examination of the manuscript tradition in the period following the vulgate, along with the copies printed since the end of the 15th century.
