Abstract

CHARALAMBOS DENDRINOS / LONDON My son, of course we know very well that the infidel [namely, the Ottomans] dread the day we come to an agreement and unite with the Franks; for, they believe that if this happens, because of us they would suffer much at the hands of the Christians of the West. Therefore, as far as this council is concerned continue and study, and bring it up, especially when you need to scare the infidel. But, do not at­ tempt to bring it about, for I see that our own people are unable to find a way for union, peace and concordance, unless they were returned to our original state. And since this is almost impossible, I fear a worse schism may be brought about, and hence we shall be left defenceless before the infidel . ..z. 1 This paper, originally delivered at the International Colloquium Motivi e strutture di divisioni ecc/esiali, organised by the Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche at Corfu, 10-13 April 2007, is dedicated to the memory of my teacher and friend Julian Chrysostomides, who read it in its final form and made valuable comments before she passed away on 18 October 2008.
