Intorno ad uno scambio epistolare tra Paul Krüger ed Emilio Costa

The contribution focuses on the analysis of a postcard written by Paul Krüger addressed to his colleague Emilio Costa and contained in a copy of the Corpus Iuris Civilis that belonged to the Italian lawyer. Krüger’s letter, dated 9 December 1919 and pasted on the title page of the Justinian Code by Emilio Costa, testifies the existence of a solid scientific collaboration between the two lawyers, interrupted exclusively by the inefficiencies of postal communications which occurred following the outbreak of the First War world-wide, as the contents of the postcard itself testify.

Keywords: Paul Krüger, Emilio Costa, Corpus iuris civilis.
