Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §7.8.1.pr-7.8.1.1

Use and Habitation: Establishment of Bare Use

Passage 1314 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Gaius begins discussing use and habitation, first explaining that a bare use (without fruit) is established in the same ways as a usufruct.

[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §7.8.1.prNunc uidendum de usu et habitatione.
[GAIUS, in the seventh book on the Provincial Edict.] Now we must consider use and habitation.
§7.8.1.1Constituitur etiam nudus usus, id est sine fructu: qui et ipse isdem modis constitui solet, quibus et usus fructus.
A bare use, that is, without fruit, is also established: which itself also is usually established in the same ways in which a usufruct also is.

Notes

  1. §7.8.1.pruidendum — The copula est is omitted after the gerundive uidendum, forming an impersonal passive periphrastic conjugation indicating necessity ('must be considered').
  2. §7.8.1.1qui et ipse — The relative pronoun qui refers back to nudus usus. The phrase et ipse serves to emphasize 'itself also', drawing a parallel with usufruct.
  3. §7.8.1.1quibus et usus fructus — The relative quibus is an ablative of manner/means referring back to isdem modis. In the relative clause, the verb phrase constitui solet is omitted after the subject usus fructus.
