Abstract

The aim of the present study is to trace the identity of the artist who painted the cemetery church of Chilandar Monastery through the form of his handwriting. The methodology has been based on a graphological analysis of all the available epigraphic material in the monument and its comparison with the epigraphic material in related monuments from the same historical period and the same geographical area. The research re- vealed a handwriting style that is identical in all respects to one of the handwriting styles to be found in the katholikon of Chilandar Monastery, and also to that in the founder’s inscription in the Church of the Resurrection of Christ the Saviour at Veroia, the only signed work by the painter George Kalliergis.
