Summary
This paper offers a preliminary overview of programmatic (as contrasted with individualistic or personal) book production at Philotheou Monastery in the sixteenth century, which was dominated by a group of calligraphers from Gallipoli. It is part of a series of papers on book production at Philotheou Monastery presented at meetings of the American Byzantine Studies Conference (today the Byzantine Studies Association of North America). The series of presentations included two related papers on the subject of 16th-century book production at Philotheou Monastery in the years 1983 and 1984:
* The Sixteenth-Century Scriptorium of Philotheou: The Gallipolite Calligraphers (American Byzantine Studies Conference, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA, 1983).
* The Sixteenth-Century Scriptorium of Philotheou and the Athonite Resistance to Islamization (American Byzantine Studies Conference, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, 1984).
Codices are cited by Philotheou catalog numbers, not Lambros.
