He was also responsible for the administration of imperial documents such as rescripts and edicts. It includes "edicts", "decrees" (judicial decisions) and "rescripts" (written answers to officials or petitioners). Papal rescripts concern the granting of favours or the administration of justice under canon law. Trebonianus Gallus and Volusianus issued only two imperial rescripts during their reign. But the "Peking Gazette" contains two imperial rescripts concerning her death. However, they were entitled to correspond directly with the emperor, as various imperial rescripts show. Rescripts of Constantine (326) and Julian (362) are dated from Spoleto. Of all the rescripts issued by Gordian, 13 percent went to soldiers. The Massachusetts appellate courts issue rescripts to the lower courts. Rescripts of justice are to be interpreted strictly. Rescripts contrary to common law contain a derogatory clause&colon; all things to the contrary notwithstanding. Rescripts expire for the most part in the same manner as faculties.
