Summary/Abstract: Complex socio-political circumstances of the Bysantine Empire in the 8th century affected the changes in the legal system of the Eastern Roman Empire which was firmly based on the Justinian law. Such legal-historical evolution is also reflected in the enactment of the Eclogue and the redefinition of the classical legal institutes- the freedom of testamentary disposition and types of bequests, which had already been established. A perticular case regarding Bysantine administration represents the focus of the investigative attention of the authors, who search for the reasons of the emergence of such norm and its place in the system of the complicated imperial administrative apparatus. During the writing the authors used the Zachary von Lingenthals; 1852. Eclogue manuscript (published in 1929. along its French translation by Constantin Spulber), as well as Antonius Monferratus; from 1889. (which hase been published along its German translation in 1983. by Ludwig Burgmann), and the auxiliary translation into English from 1926. by Edwin Freshfield
