The 14th century painter from Thessaloniki «KyrManuel»

Μὲ ἀφορμὴ τὸν ἐντοπισμό, σὲ ἔγγραφο τῆς Μονῆς Βατοπεδίου, ἀναφορᾶς τοῦ 1358 σὲ κάποιον Θεσσαλονικέα ζωγράφον ὀνομαζόμενον «κῦρ Μανουήλ», τοῦ ὁποίου εἶναι προφανὴς ἡ ταύτιση μὲ ὁμώνυμόν του ἀναφερόμενον σὲ ἔγγραφα τοῦ 1323 καὶ 1338, προτείνεται ἡ ταύτισή του μὲ τὸν ζωγράφο «κῦρ Μανουὴλ Πανσέληνον» καὶ ἡ ἐπανεξέταση τῆς χρονολογήσεως τῶν τοιχογραφιῶν τοῦ Πρωτάτου τῶν Καρυῶν τοῦ Ἁγίου Ὄρους. Παρατίθεται κατάλογος χρονολογιῶν κατὰ τὶς ὁποῖες οἱ συγκυρίες ἦσαν εὐνοϊκὲς γιὰ τὴν τοιχογράφηση τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ προτείνονται ὡς εὐνοϊκότερες αἱ περίοδοι εὐθὺς μετὰ τὸ 1308 ἢ εὐθὺς μετὰ τὸ 1322.Due to the discovery of the reference to a certain painter from Thessaloniki called «kyr Manuel» in a document of the Vatopedi Monastery, whose identification with a man of the same name in documents dated 1323 and 1338 is apparent, his identification with the painter «kyr Manuel Panselinos» is suggested, as is the reexamination of the chronology of the wall paintings of the Protaton at Karyes on Mt. Athos. A catalogue of dates during which the conditions were favorable for the painting of the church is included and the periods just after 1308 or 1322 are proposed to be the more favourable ones
