Summary/Abstract: Nichiforos Teotokis is the author of the Chiriacodromion, a collection of Sunday sermons, published in Greek and then translated into several languages. In Romanian, the volume was translated by the Moldavian monks Gherontie and Grigorie from the Neamț Monastery and printed in Bucharest in 1801. Although this volume was considerably used in the Romanian churches, known especially by the title of Cazanii, little is known about the author of the sermons. In this study we will therefore provide information about the personality of the scholar hierarch and about how his activity influenced the Orthodox world.
