Si l'oeuvre de Gaius a suscite beaucoup d'hypotheses, celles-ci furent rarement fecondes: tout au plus est-il avere que les Institutes ont ete redigees sous les Antonins, probablement sous Hadrien ou Marc-Aurele. Quant a l'auteur, on peut supposer, avec Mommsen, qu'il etait issu de la partie grecque de l'Empire. Reste le texte, ensemble de quatre commentaires juridiques ou l'auteur, sous la forme du cours magistral, fournit a ses eleves un panorama du droit romain. Texte aride, il n'en demeure pas moins edifiant: les Institutes fournissent un temoignage precieux a la fois sur la reception du droit romain ancien a la periode imperiale et sur son enseignement.
Notre edition rassemble en un volume les quatre lecons de Gaius. Le professeur antique envisage d'abord le droit des personnes, celui des choses, la succession et enfin les deux types d'actions, reelles et personnelles. L'introduction fait le point sur les hypotheses nombreuses, et parfois fantaisistes concernant Gaius et son texte et tranche en choisissant de faire des Institutes la trace ecrite de l'enseignement oral de Gaius. L'histoire du manuscrit est rappelee brievement tandis que les principes de l'edition sont justifies et assortis d'une bibliographie succincte. Des notes accompagnent la lecture, et sont developpees, en fin d'ouvrage par des notes complementaires.
