At tho present time Justinian is remembered
for the Institutes and Pandects. that coditica-
tion OF the Roman law which bears his name
and was executed at his order. But there had
been revisions Of the law before and his
contemporaries were justified by tho event
in supposing there would be others in
tho future. In his own day Justinian was
most widely and honorably known as a
builder and o conqueror. The Mosque OF
81. Sophia at Constantinople and the church
VI San Vitale at RavenDa are only two OF the
many hundred specimens OF his achievements
in scclesiastical architecture. Procopius de-
voted n considerable treatise to tho descrip-
tion OF j ustinian's buildings. and numbers OF
them survive to testify to the accuracy OF tho
historian. Not merely great centres like Con-
stantinople or Jerusalem are full! Of edilces
erected BY this Emperor. but even in the moro
secluded or outlying portions OF his dominions
any lue building extant is In two cases out
OF throe referable to his reign. 1t is also to
be noted that the era Of Justinian forms Il
landmark in the style Of Oriental church archi-
lecture. Up to his time Christian architects
had been following two patterns copied from
old Roman models: to wit. the round dome
church. whose origin can be traced to the
Temple OF Vest a, and the rectangular church
with aDses. which was simply an adaptation to
Ecclesiastical purposes OF the DRsilica or Old
lioman law'court. Justinian brought into use
Tor the first time on q large scale the conbina-
ton OF a cruciform ground plum aud q very
large dome. A type OF this style is the famous
shurch. now Mosque. OF st, sophia. which Is a
essek cross. 24o feet long and 224 broad. hav-
og In its midst a vast dome pierced by no less
than forty windows. aad soaring $50 feet
above the floor.

possessed even merchant vessels In Mr..
Oman's opinion this monopoly OF European
commerce was one Of the greatest elements In
tho strength NJ tho byzantine empire. He
thinks that the subsequent concession OF free
trado to the venetians dealt an irreparable
blow to it's financial resources.

The next striking figure In byzantine his
tory Is Leo the lsaurian. who accepted tho
crow in III. or the very eve Of q great Sara
cenic invasion Of Asia Minor which was to
eliminate In a siege OF Constantinople. They
who accept at second or third hand Gibbons
view OF the interiority OF the Byzantines to
the Teutonic conquerors OF the West must be
puzzled to account for the failure OF tho Om-
meyad Caliph to take Constantinople. though
he taxed oil his resources to that end. while
one OF his !ieuteEants at the further end OF
Europe. and with only a handful Of Arabs.
wreuched spain from the Visieoths and reach

such as infested the Visigothic ~stronghOlds.
The Mohammedan power which fruitlessly
assaulted Constaptinopls In A. d. TIT was In
comparably mightier than that to which the
city succumbed In 1888. and 1t is interesting
to consider what would have been the conse-
Guences to Europe had the eariior attack sue
cceded. The Caliph. once planted on tho
western side OF tho Bosporus. would have
found before him In the confines OF the old
Roman empire only three considerable enc-
mics. viz: the Avars in Hungary. the Lom-
bards In the valley OF the Po. and tho de-
crepit Meroringian monarchy which Pepin Of
Heristal aud his descendants had not yet
managed to regenerato. Under such ciroum.
stances we cannoi doubt that the whole Msdi-
terraDean world would have become Moslsm.

her father and seven brethren. Pursued by
the irato family. he rode them down one by
one at vantage points In the passes. but spared
their lives and was reconciled to them at the
intercession Of his bride. The story Is evident
ly in the same vein as the tales Of chivalry in
western Europe. most OF which. however. be-
long to a considerably later period.
Between A. i. 900 and 300 art followed much
the sam course as literature In the byzantine
empire. 1t was In a state of decay for the first
century and u half. and the surviving works OF
that time are often grotesquely rude. For sheer
bad drawing and bad execution nothing can
DO worse than the coins Of the seventh and
eighth centuries-a Frankish or Visigothio
piece could scarcely be more unsightlv. h
few manuscripts which survive from that
period display a corresponding though not IN
equal decline in art. Mosaic work. perhaps.
showed less decadence than other branches OF
decoration. but even In this field seventh and
eighth century productions are very rare.
In the ninth century everything under
went a wonderful improvement. The
old classical traditions OF painting live
again In the best manuscript illumi-
nation Of the period. Many OF these
Illuminated manuscripts might havo beon ex-

fury. so closely do they reproduce the old Ro-
man style. 1t seems that the iconoclastic
controversy stimulated painting. Prosecuted
by the Isaurian Emperors. the art OF sacred
portraiture became supremacy respected by
tho multitude. As early also as the middle OF
the ninth century the minor arts OF mosaic.
silver works. and jewelry were observed to be
in q fourishing condition. There is one other
point In the history OF the Byzantines in the
ninth century to which attention is directed by
our author. This is the unique CONNER
cial importance OF ConstantinoDls ut the
epoch. All other commerce except that OF
the empire had been swept of the seas
by tho Saracen pirates In the preceding
hundred years. the only communications
between eastern and western Christendom
being Kept up under the protection Of the By
zAntine navy. The Oriental products which
found their way to Europe all passed through
