In 476 in the West, the Romans collapsed. Along with their downfall, many libraries and other documents were lost. The Byzantine Empire survived in the east, along with the rest of the Roman Empire. They attempted to save as much information and knowledge that they possibly could. One of the major documents that were preserved was the Roman Law because it was written by Byzantine's greatest emperor, Justinian.
