Abstract

We recently discovered an unknown representation of Saint Gregory Palamas in the church of Saint George tou Vounou in Kastoria. Gregory Palamas was proclaimed a saint in 1368 and thus this date serves as a terminus post quernfor his depic­ tion in this church, as well as for the assigning of its wall paint­ ings to the period after 1368.
