This article responds to the accusation, and brings the debate back to the merits of the historiographical issues.

D. 26.10.1,3). Few modern interpreters have analyzed this fragment as a unitary text: among them, Siro Solazzi stands out, who, however, subjected the text to radical criticism. This article highlights the implications of Solazzi's reading on a linguistic and textual level, and proposes a different interpretation of the fragment, which considers the results achieved in the meantime by the studies on Latin didactic literature.

This clause, however, only concerned those tutors who were appointed by the father to his son in a will. In D. 26.4.5.3, Ulpian sustained that, by analogy with the praetor’s edict, the provocatio ad satisdationem could also be applied to tutors nominated according to the law of the XII Tables, and to tutors appointed by the municipal magistrates. The article examines the textual peculiarities and the juridical perspective of Ulpian’s passage. Since many modern commentators hold that the compilers of Justinian’s Digest interpolated this excerpt, a new reading of its constitutio textus is needed. The analysis of the normative content of the text focuses especially on the reasons that guided Ulpian to endorse his interpretation of the edictal procedure on the provocatio ad satisdationem. For Ulpian, the appointment of a sole administrator of the pupil’s goods, rather than a collective management of the patrimony, best fulfilled the interests both of the pupil himself and of the guardians.

È vero che in questi anni c'è stato chi, come l'ex vicepresidente della Corte Costituzionale Paolo Maddalena, ha proposto di ripartire dal diritto romano per dare un fondamento alla categoria dei beni comuni. Non voglio però prendere qui posizione sulla domanda se fare quest'operazione di archeologia giuridica, vale a dire rintracciare la continuità tra una categoria moderna e il suo strato storico profondo, sia o meno utile allo scopo. Il discorso mi porterebbe troppo lontano dalle questioni che vorrei affrontare in quest'articolo. Mi limito a segnalare che alla posizione continuistasi oppone quella di chi al contrario ritiene necessario pensare i beni comuni come una frattura nella storia giuridica, tanto moderna e contemporanea quanto antica. Era di quest'opinione, ad esempio, Stefano Rodotà, di cui si può vedere in proposito il saggio Verso i beni comuni, ora compreso nella raccolta di scritti uscita postuma con il titolo Vivere la democrazia (Laterza 2018).
