These refer to (9) the abovementioned Georgios Mavrianos, who received a payment for his work in the Church of St. George in Vrachasi (Vraghassi, read by Cattapan as Veargassi) (1401); (10) Konstantinos Moschatos, who returned the payment he had received in advance because he had not finished his work at an unnamed church (1402); and (11) Alexios Apokafkos, who promised to paint some curtains after his return from Valsamonero (1412). 13

Its full title is Διάλεξις γενομένη μεταξὺ Εὐλαβοῦς τινος, καὶ Τελώνου, Ῥακενδύτου τε, καὶ ἑνὸς τῶν δώδεκα ἑνωτικῶν ἱερέων, παρόντων καὶ ἑτέρων τριῶν ἐκεῖσε, Ἀκροατοῦ δηλονότι, Μάρτυρος, καὶ Δικαιοκρίτου, περὶ τῆς διαφορᾶς τῆς οὔσης μέσον Γραικῶν καὶ Λατίνων, ἔτι τε καὶ περὶ τῆς ἱερᾶς καὶ ἁγίας συνόδου τῆς ἐν Φλωρεντίᾳ γενομένης. 4 The information in this interlocutory treatise has been used by Manoussakas and others 5 as reliable historical and autobiographical source material for the delineation of the religious state of affairs, and particularly the anti-unionist context, in Venetian Crete in the second half of the fifteenth century. However, as this * I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prof. Dr. Antonio Rigo for his comments and suggestions. A book on John Plousiadenos' life and career, based on the author's PhD thesis, will be published shortly.
