A quick definition of juramentum:

Juramentum is a Latin word that means oath. It is a promise that someone makes, usually in a legal setting, to tell the truth or fulfill a duty. There are different types of juramentum, such as a necessary or compulsory oath, a voluntary oath, or an oath of calumny. A jurat is a certification added to an affidavit or deposition stating when and before what authority the affidavit or deposition was made. It typically says “Subscribed and sworn to before me this ____ day of [month], [year],” and certifies that the person signing the document did so in the officer's presence, appeared before the officer on the date indicated, and swore to or affirmed the contents of the document.

A more thorough explanation:

Juramentum is a Latin term used in civil law to refer to an oath. It is a solemn promise made by a person to tell the truth or fulfill a duty. There are different types of juramentum, such as:

  • Juramentum calumniae: An oath of calumny, which is a false accusation made under oath.
  • Juramentum corporalis: A corporal oath, which is an oath taken with a physical gesture, such as placing one's hand on a religious text.
  • Juramentum in litem: An oath in litem, which is an oath taken during a legal dispute to support one's claim.
  • Juramentum judiciale: An oath by which the judge defers the decision of the case to either of the parties.
  • Juramentum necessarium: A necessary or compulsory oath, which is required by law or authority.
  • Juramentum voluntarium: A voluntary oath, which is taken willingly by a person.

Examples:

  • A witness in court takes a juramentum to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
  • A public official takes a juramentum to uphold the constitution and laws of their country.
  • A person taking a citizenship oath takes a juramentum to be loyal to their new country and its laws.

These examples illustrate how juramentum is a solemn promise made under oath in different contexts, such as legal proceedings, public service, and citizenship.
