After 476, Flavius Gundobadus, King of the Burgundians (473–516), sought ways and means to consolidate and strengthen his power, including through legal regulation of the relations between the Burgundians themselves, on the one hand, and between the Burgundians and the Gallo-Romans, on the other. Thus, Liber Constitutionum sive Lex Gundobada was issued, the main purpose of which is the legal regulation of the complex relations in the kingdom, through a codification of the preserved customary law – an embodiment of tribal traditions, practices, and customs, with reasonable use of Roman legal ideas, notions, and norms. The translation and analysis of selected provisions from Lex Gundobada in this paper show the extent to which the Burgundians perceived, received, adopted, and adapted some of the most valuable Roman legal and moral rules and principles, especially the Roman concepts of iustitia and corruptio, and how the rights of both the Burgundians and the Romans were regulated and protected through them. Lex Burgundionum is part of a series of legal Barbarian codes, compiled, adapted, published, and applied in the Barbarian regna between the 5th and 9th centuries. These codes are one of the significant and true sources for the historical reconstruction of the socio-political, socio-cultural, and legal-administrative transition from the late Roman Empire to the German kingdoms and early medieval Europe. They manifest how historically the arena of clashes, confrontations, and wars between Romanitas and Barbaritas gradually became a contact zone of legal reception, of cultural, legal, and socio-political influences, from which a new world will be born, a successor to the old ones, and a new legal system – the Romano-Germanic one.

The article “Formula vitae honestae” by Martin of Braga and “lost” Seneca’s paper “De quattuor virtutibus” emphasises that it is impossible to prove, despite numerous speculations, that Formula vitae honestae is the summary or the extract of some non-preserved Seneca’s paper, in particular De quattuor virtutibus which never existed. However, in spite of that, there are numerous language and stylistic similarities, discussed frequently in scientific literature, between Formula vitae honestae by Martin of Braga and preserved letters of Lucius Annaeus Seneca. The article discusses unquestionable similarities in the way of understanding and defining so called cardinal virtues, i.e. prudentia, fortitudo (magnanimitas – by Martin of Braga), temperantia (continentia – by Martin of Braga) and iustitia. They prove the dependence of Formula vitae honestae by Martin of Braga on the thought of Seneca the Younger.
