Summary/Abstract: The lexeme of cogitatio is mentioned in the various texts of the jurists to the classical era (Giulian – D. 32.59, Scaevola – D. 34.1.13.1, Paul – D. 47.2.1.1, 48.10.22, Ulpian – D. 48.19.18 etc.). There are many sources of post-classical law for the notion of cogitation: from Antonin Pius to Justinian. The leges imperiales on cogitation are more numerous than the iura of classical jurists. It is obvious that for imperial legislation the notion of cogitation is important in the phraseology of the imperial chancery. The article explores the continuity and discontinuity of the imperial notion with this of the iurisprudentes veteres.
