Νew evidence on Akakios Ampelikos, “second founder” of the Daphni monastery (16th c.), and the post-byzantine iconostases of the katholikon
Abstract
An unpublished notarial act of 1542 from Corfu and two Cretan contracts of 1549, which were recently published and concern the commission of a wood-carved iconostasis for the katholikon of Daphni monastery, provide information for reassessing the monk Akakios Ambelikos’ presence and contribution in reinstating Daphni as an Orthodox monastery. The evolution of the katholikon’s iconostasis during the post-Byzantine period is also examined, with an emphasis on the only one we have sufficient details about, the built painted iconostasis created in the 18th century and preserved until the mid 19th, possibly until 1853, when the final wood-carved iconostasis of the church replaced it.
