Synaxarion of Constantinople

[1] It was commissioned by the Emperor Constantine VII during his sole reign (944–959) and compiled by the deacon and librarian Evaristos.

The latest saint included is Patriarch Antony II of Constantinople, who died in 901.

Some recensions of the Synaxarion from the 12th century and later included verses from the hagiographical poems of Christopher of Mytilene.

[6] The Synaxarion of Constantinople was often transmitted with liturgical rubrics to assist in the celebration of the daily office.

[8] The largest number of manuscripts, however, do not contain any such rubrics and represent the "pure" Synaxarion.
