Abstract

Theophanes Eleavoulkos was a scholar and monk that held the title of the Grand Rhetor of the Greek Church. He engaged in a controversy with the physician-scholar Hermodoros Listarchos († ci. 1600) about the question of philosophical culture and education. The letters that the two thinkers exchanged constitute a testimony about the condition of post-Byzantine philosophy in Greece under Ottoman rule.
