Corpus Juris Hungarici is a compilation in Latin of the edicts, decrees, and other laws that comprise Hungarian law, stretching back to the 11th century. The core of the two volumes is the Tripartitum, a collection of Hungarian customary law covering the law of people, property, and contracts, which was first set down in print in 1517. Corpus Juris Hungarici remained a popular and influential legal resource in Hungary until after World War II, when the Communist government enacted new codes in all areas of law. (Cornell Law Library)
“Istvan Werboczi was a statesman and jurist, whose codification of Hungarian law served as his country's basic legal text for more than 400 years. A member of the lesser nobility, Werboczi was commissioned by King Vladislas II to collect the customary and statute law of the Hungarian kingdom. His resulting work, the famous Tripartitum (1514), most notably proclaimed the complete equality of all nobles, both great and small, and stressed the rights of the aristocracy at the expense of royal sovereignty. It also reinforced the servile status of the peasantry, thus leading to a further deterioration of their condition. In effect, the Tripartitum virtually identified aristocratic interests with the nation's legal personality.”
