In its present state it is a three-aisled timer-roofed basilica with a narthex and an outer narthex.The church is dated to the end of 11th century and preserves frescoes of a first layer which are attributed to the 12th entury.
The fresco decoration of the church, according to the inscription of the painting was completed in 15th August 1573, by the hand of Neophytos, son of the Cretan painter Theophanis Bathas and by the priest Kyriazis, in the time of the archbishopric of Daniel, Bishop of Larisa.

These elements have an abstract, geometrical layout and are encountered in miniatures of manuscripts, details and secondary zones of frescoes, champlevé marble sculptures, textiles, wooden sculptures, metalwork, minor arts, minor sculptures and silver icon revetments. Some of these ornaments seem to be modifications-adaptations of the older Komnenian models to the aesthetic preferences of the Palaiologan era. These were previously interpreted as the result of Islamic influences in byzantine art. Other Palaiologan arabesque ornaments reflect direct influences from the Islamic art of the period, as is the case of marble champlevé sculptures from Macedonia.

period Iznik ware was made mainly for the use of the Ottoman court and to decorated palaces and mosques. From the late 16th century onwards
however the workshops received increasingly more orders from other markets. To this period belongs a group of inscribed ceramic dishes and tiles that date from the second half of the 17th century. The dishes bear Greek inscriptions on the rim, mostly of a religious content, while others mention the names of dedicands. The majority of these are kept in museum collections, a few are in private hands and the rest are found in churches and the monasteries of Mount Athos. In this context the paper examines a group of Iznik ceramics kept in the monasteries. The most important case is the decoration of the katholikon of the Great Lavra with polychrome tiles featuring floral patterns and three Greek inscriptions, two with a religious content and one with historical information. Two other cases are two pairs of inscribed dishes, one at Simonopetra and another at Pantokrator where in both instances they were once used as decorative features on wall facades.

We are delighted to share with you our initiative for an International Conference devoted to aspects of Byzantine and Post byzantine Inscriptions of Mount Athos, to be held virtually via Zoom in 16-18 February 2024.
As an eminent center of cenobitic monasticism since the tenth century, Athos benefited from the patronage of Byzantine emperors and aristocrats who financed buildings and precious objects. Inscriptions provide evidence for this rich activity which continued in the following centuries. The study of the Byzantine and Post byzantine inscriptions in Mount Athos has long been neglected and thus, the present Conference aims to provide a fresh impetus on the field.
Our scholarly meeting would like to offer an interdisciplinary forum for a selection of papers that touch upon some of the following aspects:
 Byzantine inscriptions in monuments
 Byzantine dedicatory inscriptions
 Byzantine funerary inscriptions
 Byzantine inscriptions in sculptures
 Byzantine inscriptions in minor arts
 Inscriptions in lead seals
 Byzantine inscriptions in woodworks
 Byzantine inscriptions in frescoes
 Byzantine inscriptions in icons
 Latin inscriptions
 Georgian inscriptions
 Old Slavonic inscriptions
 Arabic inscriptions
 Ottoman inscriptions
 Pseudo-inscriptions
 Heraldry and inscriptions
 Graffiti
 Monograms
 Postbyzantine inscriptions in monuments
 Postbyzantine dedicatory inscriptions
 Posbyzantine funerary inscriptions
 Postbyzantine inscriptions in sculptures
 Postbyzantine inscriptions in minor arts
 Postbyzantine inscriptions in woodworks
 Postbyzantine inscriptions in frescoes
 Postbyzantine inscriptions in icons
 Donors and their ideology as reflected in inscriptions
 Innovation of patronage through inscriptions
 Critical editions of inscriptions
 Detailed interdisciplinary analysis of inscriptions
 Visual qualities of inscriptions
 Databases of inscriptions
The Proceedings of the Conference will be published.

He is known mainly for his monograph on Manuel I Komnenos and his reign, winner of the 1993 Runciman Award, in which he refuted the negative view that Niketas Choniates expressed on this king and his era. Paul Magdalino has also published extensively on Constantinople and on aspects of religion, science and the occult in Byzantium, evidenced by the over ten collective volumes edited by him, some with the help of worthy collaborators, and his fifty contributions to books and collected studies’ volumes. His numerous papers focus on Byzantine authors and their works, the social ideals of the aristocracy, institutional aspects of Byzantium, but also on art, seen mainly through literary descriptions. His diverse interests, as he admits, derived partly from his early engagement with late byzantine Thessaly, when the principalities of the region were seeking connections with other provincial power centers, as well as with the capital Constantinople after the dissolution of the old mighty empire. Indeed, Paul Magdalino's Ph.D. thesis, titled The History of Thessaly (1266-1393), written and defended at the University of Oxford in 1976, and his study titled “Between Romaniae: Thessaly and Epirus in the Later Middle Ages”, published in the Mediterranean Historical Review 4/1 (1989), pp. 87-110, have since become essential tools for any scholar who studies Thessaly and Epirus in the period before the Ottoman conquest.
For these reasons, the international conference on “Byzantine Thessaly, Twelfth – Fourteenth Centuries” pays tribute to Paul Magdalino. The Conference, both in person and online, will be hosted by the Diachronic Museum of Larissa and it will take place in the early fall of 2023. The organizing committee gladly welcomed papers about the history and archaeology of Thessaly during the late Komnenian and the Palaiologan periods.

INSCRIBING TEXTS
IN BYZANTIUM:
CONTINUITIES AND TRANSFORMATIONS
18-20 March 2016, Exeter College, Oxford

In spite of the striking abundance of extant primary material – over 4000 Greek texts produced in the period between the sixth and fifteenth centuries – Byzantine Epigraphy remains largely uncharted territory, with a reputation for being elusive and esoteric that obstinately persists. References to inscriptions in our texts show how ubiquitous and deeply engrained the epigraphic habit was in Byzantine society, and underscore the significance of epigraphy as an auxiliary discipline. The growing interest in material culture, including inscriptions, has opened new avenues of research and led to various explorations in the field of epigraphy, but what is urgently needed is a synthetic approach that incorporates literacy, built environment, social and political contexts, and human agency. The SPBS Symposium 2016 has invited specialists in the field to examine diverse epigraphic material in order to trace individual epigraphic habits, and outline overall inscriptional traditions. In addition to the customary format of panel papers and shorter communications, the Symposium will organise a round table, whose participants will lead a debate on the topics presented in the panel papers, and discuss the methodological questions of collection, presentation and interpretation of Byzantine inscriptional material.
