Bell ringing on Mount Athos during the Ottoman period, II: Bells
Abstract
This study looks at forty bells found on Mount Athos and which are dated between the 17th and the early 20th century. Because most instruments are still employed by the Athonite community and are usually kept in belfries, these are not very well known artefacts. In fact, many have not been published before. The decoration and inscriptions of each bell are described and examined. Their analysis produces a history of bells on the Holy Mountain during the last three centuries of Ottoman rule.
