PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT 1: 2022
Question 1
The history of natural law became very interesting at this point and also a bit
convoluted.
• In the fifth century, the Roman Empire was split into the Western Empire (centred
on Rome) and
• The Eastern Empire (centred in Constantinople today known as Istanbul).
• The Western Empire was destroyed by invading forces and, in the process books
by Greek
, • Roman philosophers were destroyed or lost
• But they were preserved in the Eastern Empire and, interestingly, in Africa.
• Augustine used the works of Plato and combined it with the teaching of Christ to
establish the philosophical basis for the new Christian religion.
• In the Eastern Roman Empire the Greek and Roman philosophers were also
studied.
• This had a philosophical influence on the codification of Roman law by Justinian.
When Constantinople fell to the Islamic forces those fleeing the occupation took
• The codification to Western Europe. And this provided the impetus for the
rediscovery of Roman law by medieval jurists.
• In Africa, the early Christian church had established various monasteries and the
African priests and bishops who inhabited them continued to study the Greek and
Roman philosophers.
• Greek works were also used by Islamic jurists and philosophers
