| Summary |
Rothari, No. 388 is the last law of the law-code and the conclusion of the effective epilogue. It states first that cases [causae] that have previously been concluded should not be reopened according to the new law, and gives the date of promulgation – 22 day of the month of November (in 643) – as the time from from after which the emended laws were to be applied to new cases or those which were still open. The epilogue then concludes with a statement about the copying of the edict, and how new variant sshouls be either written, recognised or sealed by Rothari’s notary Answald. |
