DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Tomoya Sano (Center for Digital Humanities and Socia
 l Sciences\, Nagoya University\, Japan)\, Yukiko Kawamoto (Center for Digi
 tal Humanities and Social Sciences\, Nagoya University\, Japan)\, Naoya Iw
 ata (Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences\, Nagoya University
 \, Japan)\n\nThis seminar session introduces "Digital Digesta\," an interd
 isciplinary project that leverages Generative AI and Large Language Models
  (LLMs) to trace the reception of the Roman legal tradition within the mod
 ern Japanese legal system. Although Japanese laws and regulations (Hōrei)
  were shaped by European models rooted in Roman jurisprudence\, systematic
 ally identifying the specific pathways of this reception remains a complex
  hermeneutical challenge.\nWe propose a novel methodology designed to brid
 ge the gap between classical legal concepts and modern statutes. We begin 
 by digitizing and structuring the Digesta and related documents. Next\, we
  employ LLM-based approaches to analyze the semantic structure of these Ro
 man legal sources. In conjunction with this\, we utilize the structured XM
 L database of Japanese laws and imperial ordinances (1886–2017) develope
 d by Sano. By exploring computational methods to cross-reference these dis
 tinct legal corpora with generative AI\, our project aims to elucidate the
  intellectual lineage connecting Roman legal thought to the foundations of
  Japan’s modern legal order\, offering a scalable framework for comparat
 ive legal history. \n\nhttps://plan.events.mpg.de/event/690/
