The Eisagoge

Attributed to Photius, for Basil I

An introduction to a projected revision of the law, whose second and third titles define the emperor and the patriarch as the two parts of one body politic — the emperor guarding what exists, the patriarch alone entitled to interpret the canons and to speak freely to the emperor about the salvation of souls.
