Lectures In Paris: It was probably the Italian lawyer Irnerius who gave, at Bologna in the 12th century, the first lectures in paris on the Digest. These lectures in paris mark the discovery of the great compilation of Roman law and begin the development of legal science on the basis of that body of material. Irnerius' lectures in paris came at a time when profound political and economic changes were already under way in western Europe. The Mediterranean trade routes had been reopened, and commerce was expanding along both the Mediterranean coast and the northern coasts of western Europe. Towns were becoming commercial centers and a money economy was emerging.
