This book forms part of the Evergetis Project which aims to
investigate all surviving texts associated with the Monastery of
the Theotokos Evergetis founded in 1049 near Constantinople. A
book-length introduction sets out the historical significance of
the house for the development of Byzantine monasticism and
discusses its administration, liturgy and way of life. An English
translation of the Hypotyposis (the monastery's foundation
document) is provided, accompanied by detailed notes. Previous
scholarship on the authorship of the Hypotyposis and the evolution
of the text is discussed and linguistic analysis used to suggest
that traces of the original foundation document by Paul Evergetinos
can be identified within it. The Hypotyposis was widely used as a
model for later Byzantine and Slavonic typika and the precise
relationship of these documents one to the other is demonstrated in
detail. The volume also includes prosopographical material on the
known patrons of the monastery, a discussion of its library,
English translations of later Greek and Latin texts referring to
the monastery and a suggested reconstruction of Paul Evergetinos'
original foundation document.
