This research investigates the scope of juridical reflection on the role of error in testamentary dispositions. It focuses, in particular, on the degree to which the notion of a private voluntas attaining normative significance emerges in relation to the institution of heirs and legacies. The analysis is framed through the lens of testamentary pathology as constituted by error, through which Ulpian’s exegesis of Sabinus provides a coherent and conceptually auton-omous framework for evaluating the juridical consequences of error in disposi-tions effective upon death.

Abstract
This research investigates the scope of juridical reflection on the role of error in testamentary dispositions. It focuses, in particular, on the degree to which the notion of a private voluntas attaining normative significance emerges in relation to the institution of heirs and legacies. The analysis is framed through the lens of testamentary pathology as constituted by error, through which Ulpian’s exegesis of Sabinus provides a coherent and conceptually auton-omous framework for evaluating the juridical consequences of error in disposi-tions effective upon death.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
