Cooker, an old English term, used but once in the A. y. of the Apociypha (Eoclns. xzx, 9, ri^vriaov, tmtd as a nnrse), in the sense otfandUy or treat gentlj.
Cockle (ni^Ka, ha8hah\ an offentioe plant, q. d. stink-weed ; Sept fiaroQ^ i. e. bramble) occurs only in Job xxxi, 40 : '* Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and codde instead of barlej." It is probably a mere gen- eral term signifying wttd^ perhaps like the damd (^t- lovia^ " tares**) of Matt xiii, 80. Celsius (Hierobot. ii, 199) would identify it with the aconite, but Gesenius questions this {JetaicL, i, 280 ; ii, 864), as the word must not be confounded with the plur. form (p*^^KSl, ded- «A»mO, **wild grapes*' (q. v.), in Isa. v, 2, \1 See

Codex Canonnm BoolesisB UniverBse is the name of a work published at Paris in 1610 by Christ Justean (Jnstellus), which undertook to give the can- ons of the first councils in a shape as conformable as possible to the collection of canons which the Coun- cil of Chalcedon (451) was supposed to have made. This codex ctmonwn, etc., was reprinted in the Bibl, jwr, am. veL (torn, i, p. 29), published by Jnstellus and VoSllns. The supposition which led to the compila- tion of this work, that the Council of Chalcedon had made or ordered to be made such a collection of can- ons, is erroneous. It is true that the resolutions of the ancient Church councils were early collected and circulated among the bishops, and that at the Council of Chalcedon many of the bishops had with them col- lectkms containing the canons of the five synods of Nice, Ancyra;, Keo-C»sarea, Gangra, and Antiochia, from which many passages were read. But it ap- peared tiiat in the arrangement of the canons the col- lections widely Offered, and it is not known that the council took any action with regard to the matter. — Wetzer u.

Codex Jtuitiiiianeiis, a code composed by order of the Emperor Justinian, and intended to embrace all that was still available of former collections of impe- rial manuscripts and edicts, as well as of edicts then recent The previous collections were, 1. The Codex Gregoriamuy compiled by Gregorianus, who lived about the middle of the fourth century. It contained the ** Constitutions** (the collective name for the ^^JU- scripta,^^ or replies to particular inquiries and re- quests, and the *^JEdicta," or orders on general ques- tions) of the emperors up to the time of Constan- tlne ; 2. The Codex ffermogemanus, compiled by Her- mogenee, likewise about the middle of the fourth cen- tury, and containing the " Constitutions** of Diocle- tian and Maximinian ; 8. The Codex Theodosiamiu^ compiled in the first half of the fifth century by order of the Emperor Theodoeius II, by a committee of six- teen jurists, and containing the Constitutions of the emperors from Constantino to Theodosius. It was pro- mulgated by Theodosius hi 488 in the Eastern empire, and in the same year by Yalentinian in the Western. It was divided into sixteen books, of which the first five ■nd the former part of the sixth are lost. All these three codes are found in the Corpue Jurii AiUejuMtin- ianei, published by H&neL In Feb. 628 the Emperor Jostmianus ordered the preparation of a, new code, which was to embrace aU that was still of practical value of the three previous collections, and, in addi- tion, all the constitutions issued since the publication of the Theodosian Code. This new collection was pub- lished m April, 529. After the publication of the Pan- dects (a compilation of the writings of former Boman
jurists) and the Imtkuiionee (an introduction to the study of the Roman law), another revision was made in 5&1 by Tribonianus. This new revbion {Codex rep- etUa prakctiome) still finrms an important portion of the Corpue Juris doUie, while the first revision (Codex Mtes)^ lost In its last revision, the Codex Juttim-' ctneuM consists of twelve books, each book containing a number of tities in chronological order. Up to the time of Constanthie nearly all the constitutions are reecrip^ ta (rescripts) ; after that we meet with numerous edkta (edicts). The code of Justinian is of great importance for Church history and Church law, as a great many edicts of the Christian emperors concerned religious questions. In quoting the code of Justinian, first the number of the constitution is given, next the special code (Greg., Herm., Th., Just.) fh>m which it is tak- en; and finally the titie ; thus, c. 46. C. Just, i, 8, de episo. et ckr., which means constitution 46 of the Jus- tinianean code (that is, the entirely new portion of it), ■ book i, titie 8, which treats de episcopis et clerids. — Wetzer u.
