Revisiting the epigrams in the church of Saint Peter, Kalyvia, Attica (1231/32)
Abstract
The present study reviews in some detail the reading of the well-known dedicatory inscription in the narthex of the church of Saint Peter at Kalyvia, Attica and attempts as far as the state of preservation allows, the reconstruction of the long, lesser known, epigram on the north wall of the church’s narthex, by paying close attention to its poetic structure. Preliminary conclusions are drawn regarding the person who had the initiative to commission the epigrams, and the historical context that framed their composition.
