===== Early scholastics (1070–1263) =====
The rediscovery of the Digesta from the ''Corpus Iuris Civilis'' led the university of Bologna to start teaching Roman law.<ref>{{Cite book |title=European legal history: a cultural and political perspective |last=Lesaffer, Randall |translator=Arriens, Jan |isbn=9780521877985 |location=Cambridge, UK |pages=252–254 |oclc=299718438 |date=25 June 2009}}</ref> Professors at the university were asked to research the Roman laws and advise the Emperor and the Pope with regards to the old laws. This led to the [[Glossator]]s to start translating and recreating the ''Corpus Iuris Civilis'' and create literature around it:
* ''Glossae'': translations of the old Roman laws
* ''Summae'': summaries
* ''Brocardica'': short sentences that made the old laws easier to remember, a sort of mnemonic
* ''Quaestio Disputata'' (''sic et non''): a dialectic method of seeking the argument and refute it.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Introduction to Reformed Scholasticism |last=van Asselt, Willem J. |others=Pleizier, Theo., Rouwendal, P.

Accursius wrote the ''[[Glossa ordinaria (Accursius)|Glossa Ordinaria]]'' in 1263, ending the early scholastics.<ref>{{Cite book |title=European legal history: a cultural and political perspective |last=Lesaffer, Randall |translator=Arriens, Jan |isbn=9780521877985 |location=Cambridge, UK |pages=254–257 |oclc=299718438 |date=25 June 2009}}</ref>

===== Late scholastics (1263–1453) =====
The successors of the Glossators were the [[Postglossator|Post-Glossators]] or Commentators. They looked at a subject in a logical and systematic way by writing comments with the texts, treatises and ''consilia'', which are advises given according to the old Roman law.<ref>{{Cite book |title=European legal history: a cultural and political perspective |last=Lesaffer, Randall |translator=Arriens, Jan |isbn=9780521877985 |location=Cambridge, UK |pages=257–261 |oclc=299718438 |date=25 June 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Skyrms |first=J.F. |date=1980 |title=Commentators on The Roman Law |journal=Books at Iowa |volume=32 |pages=3–14 |doi=10.17077/0006-7474.1414 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
