Justinian I Ἰουστινιανός

The code of Roman law he assembled served Europe for a thousand years. Novella 146 (553 CE) permitted the reading of Scripture in Greek and expressly preferred the Septuagint, while forbidding the study of the Mishnah—"an evil tradition, not among the sacred books". It is the first case of a state undertaking to tell a community what its text should be. The Code, for its part, gathered the earlier restrictions: Jews may not hold office, nor testify against Christians, nor build new synagogues.

His birth year is approximate; he died on 14 November 565, that is already in 4326 AM.
