The Autograph Neomartyrologium Collection of Monk Caesarius Daponte (1713-1784)
The Autograph Neomartyrologium Collection of Monk Caesarius Daponte (1713-1784) [Νεομαρτυρολογικά Σύμμεικτα Α΄] is published by "Mygdonia", Thessaloniki 2012, and involves a critical edition of the autograph (in its majority) manuscript of Caesarius Daponte – now belongs to the Public library of St Petersburg – , the cod. Petropolitanus gr. 253 (ff. 97r-149v), which contains a very important, unknown hagiologic work: a neomartyrologium collection prepared by himself, which failed to attract the attention of those who were dealing with the neomartyrologic literature. This Daponte’s collection is the pilot, who directed the iconography of the neomartyrs contained therein to the liti of the new Catholicon of the Xeropotamou monastery, Mount Athos in 1783. In this way becomes a classic, perhaps unique, example of speech and image interpretation in the late Ottoman Empire and attracts the interest not only of hagiologists or of historians but also the art historians.
