ΓΛΩΣΣΑΡΙΟ

 

despotes
Title introduced in the 12th century. In administrative hierarchy, the office of despotes was under the emperor and the co-emperor. From the 14th century onwards, the title was given to the governors of the Byzantine Peloponnese.

katepano
(from "epano","above") Governor of a katepania. Title that from the end of the 10th century characterized the commanders of large provinces as Italy or Mesopotamia and from the 11th century, it was used also in the regions of Bulgaria, Antioch etc.

khan (Ilkhan), khagan
This title was used in Turkic and Mongolian languages to designate the supreme ruler. The Byzantines used it to refer to the rulers of the Avars, Khazars, Turks and Bulgarians.

Menologion of Basil II
Codex in scroll kept at the Vatican Apostolic Library (cod. 1613). It is considered the absolute masterpiece of the Byzantine miniature and the most richly illustrated known Byzantine manuscript. It is a glossy Synaxarion, the first and only one of its kind, with several unique features, such as the signatures of artists, ‘of the illustrator…’. It was ordered by Emperor Basil II (976 and 1025) and evidences his singular religious and artistic nature. Each saint and religious ceremony corresponds to a glossy miniature. The preserved manuscript includes 430 miniatures and covers the first half of the year (Sept.-Febr.). There must have been a second volume, which has not been preserved.

Synaxarion of Constantinople
A compilation of brief accounts on every saint that was celebrated during a liturgical year, arranged by months. It was one of the first and most thorough compilation of synaxaria and it is considered a valuable source for the Byzantine studies. Its compilation must be dated to the 10th century and was probably linked to the tradition of the Church of Constantinople. It was the model for many synaxaria compiled later (such as the Menologion of Basil II), and it was completed or slightly altered in some parts through the years. It was published in 1902 by the Belgian scholar Hippolyte Delehaye (Synaxarium ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae e codice Sirmondiano [Bruxelles 1902]).

vestarches
Byzantine honorary title, which is first mentioned in the 10th c. Taktikon of Escurial. Originally the title was exclusively bestowed upon eunuchs, but from the fifth decade of the 11th c. it was granted to non-eunuchs as well. During the 11th c. the title was conferred to various distinguished generals. After the beginning of the 12th c. the title seems to have disappeared.
