Notice of New Work by Pledge Creditors for Servitudes

Passage 6107 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

The author argues that a creditor holding a tract of land as a pledge must be allowed to give notice of a new work regarding a servitude on that land, as they are granted the right to vindicate the servitude.

[GAIUS ad edictum urbicum titulo de operis noui nuntiatione. ] §39.1.9.prCreditori, cui pignoris nomine praedium tenetur, permittendum est de iure, id est de seruitute, opus nouum nuntiare: nam ei uindicatio seruitutis datur.
[GAIUS, on the local edict, under the title: of the notification of a new work.] A creditor to whom a tract of land is bound under the name of a pledge must be permitted to give notice of a new work concerning a right, that is, concerning a servitude; for to him is given the vindication of a servitude.

Notes

  1. 39.1.9.prCreditori... permittendum est — The dative `Creditori` functions as the dative of agent with the gerundive `permittendum est`, serving as the logical subject of the sentence. The grammatical subject of the impersonal passive verb is the infinitive phrase `opus nouum nuntiare`.
  2. 39.1.9.prde iure, id est de seruitute — The prepositional phrase `de iure` (concerning a right) is specified and glossed by `id est de seruitute` (that is, concerning a servitude). This phrase modifies the infinitive `nuntiare`.
