Inʹstitutes (3 syl.)

.

Elementary law treatises, as the Institutes of Gaius and those of Florentius, Callistrătus, Paulus, Ulpian, and Marcian. The Institutes of Justinian were compiled by Antonīnus Pius, and for the most part are mere rechauffées of the preceding ones, giving the words and opinions of the respective authors.
