Abstract:
In this article is presented the critical edition of two texts: Περί τον πότεκαί πως εχριΰτιάνησαν οί Ρώσΰοι (=Concerning when and how the Russians were baptised), from the manuscript codices nos 1317 and 1319 of the Monasteryof Iviron in Mount Athos.The author believes that these texts were written in Mount Athos duringthe XVIIIth century, in the political climate of the expectation of the Greeks,to be liberated from the Turks with the help of the Russians.The Russians who might liberate the Greeks from the Ottoman rule owedmuch to them, even their baptism and their initiation into Christianity.
