	Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve (October 23, 1831 - January 9, 1924), American classical scholar, was born in Charleston, South Carolina, son of Benjamin Gildersleeve (1791-1875), a Presbyterian evangelist, and editor of the Charleston Christian Observer in 1826-1845, of the Richmond (Va.) Watchman and Observer in 1845-1856, and of The Central Presbyterian in 1856-1860.
		Gildersleeve accepted a staff position in the summer of 1861, and he returned to the army each spring at the conclusion of classes.
		Gildersleeve's own comment on this incident summed it up: "I lost my pocket Homer, I lost my pistol, I lost one of my horses and, finally, I came very near losing my life." As a result of this wound, he would bear a limp for the remainder of his life.

		Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, still living as the dean of American philologists, was born in 1831 at Charleston, South Carolina.
		Professor Gildersleeve himself confesses that he used his edition of the Apologies of Justin Martyr (1877) and his edition of Pindar (1885) chiefly as a repository of his syntactical theories—an assertion doubtless flavoured with Socratic irony.
		A literary satirist, Gildersleeve should have written a History of Literary Satire; and one who would form an anthology of the less technical sayings from “Brief Mention” would find that he had gathered many of the materials for such a work.

		Basil I (known as the Macedonian), Byzantine emperor, was born to a family of Armenian (not Slavonic) descent, settled in Macedonia.
		Basil then murdered Bardas, who virtually ruled the empire in Michael's place; this was done with the emperor’s consent in April, 866, and a few weeks later Basil was named Caesar.
		Because of the great legislative work which Basil undertook, and which may be described as a revival of the laws of Justinian I, he is often called the "second Justinian." Basil's laws were collected in the Basilica, consisting of sixty books, and smaller legal manuals known as the Prochiron and the Eisagoge.
