| Comment | It is not clear to which typicon these verses refer. Canart (1970:135) considers two options: 1. the typikon of the monastery of the Theotokos τῆς Βεβαίας Ἐλπιδος, founded by Theodora Palaeologina (the wife of the brother of the emperor Michael VIII); 2. the typikon of the monastery Λιβός, founded by the empress Theodora, the wife of Michael VIII. The second hypothesis is confirmed by De Gregorio (2010: 99-111), who devotes an ample study to the historical context in which the epigram was produced. It is very likely that Metochitas played an important role in this process. |
