Notes

Note: from Enc.Brit. micropaedia: "Byzantine co-emperor from 870 and emperor from 886 to 912, whose imperial laws, written in Greek, became the legal code of the Byzantine Empire.
"Leo was the son of Basil I the Macedonian, who had begun the codification, and his second wife, Eudocia Ingerina. Made co-emperor in 870, he succeeded to the throne on his father's death.
"Educated by the patriarch Photius, Leo was more of a scholar than a soldier. In addition to completing the canon of laws, Leo wrote several decrees (novels) dealing with a wide range of ecclesiastical and secular problems. His other works include a funeral panegyric on his father, Basil, liturgical poems, sermons and orations, secular poetry, and military treatises."
