'A Monastic Foundation in Ninth-Century Northern Greece : The Case of Peristerai. Architecture and Patronage in a Rural Context'
Original language description
Relying upon a case study, the Monastery of St. Andrew in Peristerai near Thessalonica (founded AD 870/871), this paper aims to present the formation and development of a regional monastic institution in ninth-century Northern Greece. St. Andrew turns out to be of interest, since its formative period dates back earlier than the golden age of the Mount Athos monasteries, i.e. the second half of the tenth century. Peristerai lays very close to the Holy Mountain: it therefore will become a competitor of its monastic communities as far as the acquisition of extensive land plots is concerned. This state of affairs will not be a long-lasting one. Quite soon, the lack of spiritual leadership or – more likely – economic mismanagement led Peristerai to undergo to a sort of protectorate of the Great Lavra of Athos. Since no countermeasures were put in effect to prevent the decadence, St. Andrew was soon reduced to a filiation of Great Lavra, being deprived of any autonomy.
