Michaél Apostolés levelei a krétai Laonikoshoz
The Letters of Michael Apostles to Laonikos of Crete

Summary/Abstract: Among the letters of the well-known Greek scholar, teacher, writer and scribe Michael Apostoles, there are a few that were addressed to a certain Laonikos. Jenő Darkó identified the Laonikos mentioned in the letters as the Athenian historian Laonikos Chalkokondyles. This paper presents the relevant letters in detail and reviews Darkó’s arguments and the counterarguments raised against his view. Our conclusion is that the two individuals are not the same person; Apostoles’ friend was not the historian Chalkokondyles, but Nikolaos Kabbadatos, Protopapas of Crete.
