ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The Comnenian Monastery of Christ Philanthropos was built by Eirene Doukaina, emperor Alexios I Komnenos’ wife, at the end of the 11th or the beginning of the 12th century. It was a male monastery next to the female monastery of Theotokos Kecharitomene, with which it was founded together. In the foundation of the monastery took part in all probability Alexios I, who was buried there. Some information concerning the monastery we deduce from the extant typikon of Theotokos Kecharitomene. The Palaeologan Covent of Christ Philanthropos was founded before 1307 by Eirene Choumnaina as a female monastery. It is still unclear if it was a restoration, a reestablishment or a completely different foundation in another place. Some archaeological remains in the area of Mangana have been connected without any certainty with the Palaeologan monastery, whereas it is speculated that the Comnenian monastery lay near the monastery of Christ Pantepoptes. |
