Parallel Title:
Epistolary Evidence Concerning Two Doctors from Agrafa who Shared the Same Name
Author:
Abstract:
On the occasion of the recent publication of a work on herbal medicine by Nikolaos Ieropais (17th/18th cent.), in which the editors identify the author with the famous Nikolaos who was doctor-in-chief to the Sultan and one time student of Eugenios Giannoulis, six letters are published (four from Anastasios Gordios, one from Nikolaos Ieropais and one from the hieromonk Nikodemos Mazarakis) from codex II 2406 of the Brussels Library. These clearly show that the identification of these two persons is incorrect. There were certainly two doctors of the same name, who both hailed from the village of Velisdoni, Agrafa, where they both happened to find themselves in about 1683. One of them, Ieropais, was then young, the other older.
