The work 'Collatio legum Mosaicarum et Romanarum' (often attributed to an anonymous author, with Pierre Pithou being the first editor of the text in 1574) is a well-known legal text from late antiquity. While scholarly studies and commentaries exist in English (such as Robert M. Frakes' 'Compiling the Collatio legum Mosaicarum et Romanarum in late antiquity'), there is no evidence of a complete English translation of the text itself. The search results confirm the existence of the Latin text and scholarly interest, but no English edition of the work was found.
