Topic: Philotheus of Pskov

	The Russians
		This was particularly true in such cities as Novgorod or Pskov, where princes were constantly changing and the only authority recognized by the populace of these commercial centers was that of their bishops.
		These were the south-western provinces of Galicia and Volhynia; the north-western corner dominated by the city republics of Novgorod and Pskov; and the north-eastern woodlands with their chief towns of Vladimir, Rostov, Iaroslavl, and Susdal.
		Philotheus, one of the Russian scholars, an elder of a monastery in Pskov, formulated this wide-spread belief in his epistle addressed to Basil III.

		After their deliverance from the enemy, the grateful people of Pskov built a church in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos.

		All these had influenced Philotheus, the monk of a Pskov monastery, who formulated that theory at the beginning of the sixteenth century, during the reign of Basil III, as a «Moscow — the Third Rome» doctrine [45].
		The fact of the appearance of the imperial title was strongly linked to the conquest of Pskov by Basil III in 1510, the last territory of Rus’ that had not been included either into the Grand Principality of Lithuania, or into Muscovy before.
		However, the conquest of Pskov seems to be just one of the factors that contributed to the further evaluation of Muscovy in a system of the Orthodox principalities.

	The History
		In Novogorod too, the successors of St. Mistislaff, in conjunction with the princes of Pskov and Polotsk, were obliged to contend with a new enemy, who had established himself on the neighboring coasts of the Baltic.
		At the same time with the cathedral of the Assumption, John also founded in his new capital the temple of St. Saviour "In the Wood" thought to be the oldest of all in Moscow, and the cathedral of the Archangel, where he himself rests in peace.
		Thus Theognostes accompanied John in his expedition to Pskov, when it refused to allow the departure of Alexander prince of Tver, though his presence had been required in the Horde, and overcame the resistance of the citizens by the terror of an ecclesiastical interdict, so preventing a renewal of the desolating ravages of the Mongols.

		The monk Philotheus of Pskov informed the Muscovite Tsar Basil III (1505-1533) of his vision based on the book of Daniel that the Russian tsardom was to be the final earthly reign of God's People.
		The installation document of the new patriarch was almost a repetition of the prophesy of Philotheus about Moscow as the third Rome.
		Thus the theory, which had become practice under Ivan III, was now officially affirmed by the highest prelate in the Orthodox Church.

		Viskovatyi was offended by the new icons painted by Novgorod and Pskov iconographers in accordance with a directive from the priest Sylvester during the cathedral's renovation after the fire of 1547.
		Novgorod and Pskov reached it first, and from there a new current spread to Moscow.
		It is easy to determine the importance of this new departure or movement in iconography: it constituted a break with hieratic realism and its replacement by decorative symbolism or, more accurately, allegory.

		The greater part of their Slavonic versions from the 13th to the 15th century included selections from the fragments of the works of Isaac the Syrian, Abba Dorotheus, Simeon the New Theologian, John Climacus, Philotheus Sinaites, Peter of Damascus and Gregory Sinaites.
		Philotheus called the Muscovite Church „the holy, apostolic and catholic Church of new Rome” which „at the end of the world (...) shines because of its Orthodox christianity”.
		The increase of the number of copies and continuations of their subjects were surely intended for the purpose of keeping up the tradition which was considered in the 16th century as Byzantine and designated in the texts as „Greek”.

	ERP History
		The Muscovite sovereign began to use more and more of the Byzantine imperial ceremonial, and he assumed the double-headed eagle as his state emblem.
		In 1510 the monk Philotheus of Pskov addressed Vasily III as "tsar" (or emperor), saying: "Two Romes have fallen, but the third stands, and a fourth there will not be." The meaning of the sentence was that the first Rome was heretical, the second--Byzantium--was under Turkish control, and the third was Moscow.
		Peter's ecclesiastical advisers were Ukrainian prelates, graduates of the Kievan academy, who introduced in Russia a Western system of theological education; the most famous among them was Peter's friend, Feofan Prokopovich, archbishop of Pskov.

		The monk Philotheus of Pskov propounded his Third-Rome theory at this time.
		Labouring among them were St. Nicholas (Velimirovitch), a Serbian Bishop who had the character of an Apostle (+1956), and Bishop Theodore (Irtel), a monk from the sacred monasteries of Pskov Caves and Valaam in Russia, who worked with St. Nicholas for a time in Canada.

		This letter was written by a monk from the city of Pskov to the Moscow's Grand Prince at the beginning of the 16th century.
		While his primary focus was the correction of certain moral and ritual failings widespread among the Russians, Philotheus justifies this concern by developing the theory of Russia's unique place in the world as the Third Rome.

	Russia Under Western Eyes
		The purpose of this study is to answer these questions by exploring the three centuries since Peter the Great—in Pushkin's famous phrase from The Bronze Horseman—first "cut a window through to Europe."
		For a start, the elementary historical facts of the last three centuries are distinctly more complex than the vulgate of eternal Russia would have it—as indeed should be obvious to anyone who has perused a survey of Russian history beyond the prophecies of Philotheus of Pskov to, say, Voltaire's cult of Catherine the Great.
		In reality, the West's sense of difference from Russia has rarely attained the acute pitch of the Cold War years.

		While Anthony and Theodosius of Kiev, and the other righteous Fathers before Sergius, had established their monasteries near to cities, Sergius was the leader and light of those who went far into the wilderness, and after his example the untrodden forests of northern Russia were settled by monks.

		Stylistic analysis suggests that this cameo was a prototype for several other cameos with the same subject: red jasper Christ at Hilandar, green jasper Christ at the Muzej za Primenjenu Umetnost,
		Furthermore, the Hilandar cameo with the Virgin Orans in green jasper shows stylistic affinities with the Belgrade cameo of Christ, and may be related to other cameos representing the Virgin in collections of London, Paris, Rostov and Pskov.
		As to the origin of the Hilandar cameos, without written documentation one can only offer an hypothesis: some of the glyptic pieces were imported, possibly from Constantinople, the presumed center of Byzantine production of such works.
