Description: According to the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium, the Synopsis minor ([To mikron kata stoicheion] = the little alphabetical [lawbook]), was a compilation of legal principles arranged in alphabetical order, dating from the end of the 13th century. It was so called in contrast to the 'large' Synopsis basilicorum. The compiler drew mainly on the law book of Michael Attaleiates and the Synopsis basilicorum, which he sometimes excerpted word for word and sometimes paraphrased. For more, cf. ODB, s.v.
