Abstract
CORREA, Luiz Fabiano. The elegant but indefinable legal art. Fundamina (Pretoria) [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.2, pp.212-220. ISSN 2411-7870.

But this cannot be regarded as a definition. After analysing the meaning of words such as "elegantia", "elegans" and "eleganter" in the Roman legal texts and focusing the art of dealing with ius, this paper confronts the hard task of defining it.
