Da Cicerone a Gaio, da Gaio a Cicerone: L’’arte’ di insegnare il diritto a Roma negli studi di Ferdinando Bona

Abstract

This article aims to reconstruct a path within Ferdinando Bona's studies. It is a path that links Gaius' Institutiones to the project set out by Cicero in the first book of De oratore, concerning the need to give a systematic form to ius civile. At the very core of this twofold development there is an interest in the ways in which law is taught, particularly in handbooks.
