Ioannis Symeonakis and Petros Lambardos Summary PDF The scribal production of the Protopope of Chandax Ioannis Symeonakis, his connections to senior Venetian officers, and his literary and teaching work, as demonstrated in a recent study by Silvio Giuseppe Mercati, may be seen as forming part of the climate of early 15th-century Cretan humanism, where ancient Greek tradition meets Orthodox Christianity and Venetian culture. Symeonakis’ pupils include the Cretan scribe Petros Lambardos. Two letters by the latter to the monks Callistus and Anthimus are included in codex Bodl. Misc. Gr. 242, and presented here in a critical edition.
