Basilika (Bautyp)
The ''Basilika'' was a collection of laws completed c. 892 AD in Constantinople by order of the Eastern Roman emperor Leo VI the Wise during the Macedonian dynasty. This was a continuation of the efforts of his father, Basil I, to simplify and adapt the Emperor Justinian I's ''Corpus Juris Civilis'' code of law issued between 529 and 534 which had become outdated. The term "Basilika" comes from el, Τὰ Βασιλικά meaning "Imperial Laws" and not from the Emperor Basil's name, which though shares the etymology "imperial".

During Justinian's era, Latin was still in common use and Court documents were written in it.

Furthermore, many o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
