PAPERS AND STUDIES 6 271 - 273 1952 Greek Title A manuscript from Chandax, Crete, dating to 1624 Summary PDF Research in the Venetian State archives brought to light a document testifying to the moral rectitude, equitable conduct and constructive teachings of Sebastian Quirino, Latin Archbishop of Paros and Naxos, co-signed by forty-three clerics from Chandax on 2nd May 1624. The fact that both the document and accompanying signatures are written in Greek is a strong indication of the high level of literacy typical of Cretan clerics in the early 17th century.
