The Vocabularius Utriusque Iuris was an extremely
useful and popular legal reference work; to whit: first published around
1474 in Basel, Switzerland, it passed through more than seventy
editions in the next 150 years. It is an authoritative collection of
terms and concepts taken from legal texts spanning the 12th to 15th
centuries, including the Vocabularius Stuttgardiensis
(1432), the Collectio Terminorum Legalium (ca. 1400), and
the Introductorium pro Studio Sacrorum Canonum of Hermann
von Schildesch (ca. 1330). The Vocabularius was reputedly
compiled by a jurist of Erfurt University named Jodocus, who signed some
manuscripts of the text. The chief source of information on the book is
without doubt, Emil Seckel's, Beiträge zur Geschichte
beider Rechte im Mittelalter (Tübingen: H. Laupp, 1898)
which includes 500 pages devoted exclusively to the "History of the
Vocabularius and the Related Legal Encyclopedias of the
Middle Ages."
The Vocabularius was intended not for use by the
jurists, but rather by non-lawyers, says Seckel. The great success of
the Vocabularius demonstrated an active dissemination of
and reference to the ius commune among the population, and
shows that the work was a central channel of that process.
The 16th and 17th century editions of the Vocabularius
frequently include two short essays: A guide to legal orthography,
"Compendiolum de ortographia," by Albericus de Rosate, and a study guide
for law students, "De modo studendi in utroque iure" by Giovanni
Battista Caccialupi. These appendices, together with the small size of
the later editions, are evidence that the Vocabularius was
much used by law students. The Tarlton Law Library's copy of the 1537
Vocabularius bears a contemporary inscription by a student
at the University of Toulouse.
The Vocabularius was also frequently paired with
another law dictionary, the Lexicon iuris civilis by
Antonio de Nebrija, and our copies of these editions are listed on the
page for Nebrija to avoid duplication.
