BASILICA ,
civil law .
This is derived from a Greek word ,
which signifies imperial constitutions .
The emperor Basilius ,
finding the Corpus Juris Civilis of Justinian too long and obscure ,
resolved to abridge it ,
and under his auspices the work proceeded to the fortieth book ,
which ,
at his death ,
remained unfinished .
His son and successor ,
Leo ,
the philosopher ,
continued the work ,
and published it in sixty books ,
about the year 880 .
Constantine Porphyro -
genitus ,
younger brother of Leo ,
revised the work ,
re -
arranged it ,
and republished it ,
Anno Domini ,
910 .
From that time the laws of Justinian ceased to have any force in the eastern empire ,
and the Basilica were the foundation of the law observed there till Constantine XIII ,
the last of the Greek emperors ,
under whom ,
in 1453 ,
Constantinople was taken by Mahomet the Turk ,
who put an end to the empire and its laws .
