Description
Specifications
This monograph examines, for the first time in a systematic manner, the relationship between the Governor and monasticism, as well as the conflicts it provoked. Based on primary archival evidence, unpublished letters, and official decrees, it reveals his consistent effort to protect monasteries and their historic self-governance, even in the face of ecclesiastical authorities seeking complete control.
The book illuminates the political and moral strategy of a leader who respected tradition, challenged powerful interests, and aimed to build a state of justice and cohesion. His assassination is presented here not as a random act of violence, but as the dramatic outcome of deeper conflicts that marked the birth of the modern Greek state.
