Abstract
The article re-examines the memorial book of the Protaton of Karyes (Mount Athos) and minutely looks at its content (about 2000 names), articulation and structure. The original part of the book was written at the Athonite Protaton around 1366 and is followed by a series 14th-15th and 16th-century additions. The book, compiled in the third quarter of the 14th century, remained in use for nearly two centuries, with liturgical additions and constant updating of the records of the deceased. The book, a simple (albeit long) list of names, can be fruitfully compared with shorter lists transmitted by the donation deeds preserved in monastic archives and cited in typika.
