Abstract

This paper aims to identify the baptiser of the patriarch Photios: Iakobos, the hegoumenos of the monastery of Maximina, who is only recorded in the chronicle of the Pseudo-Symeon (10th century). The analysis of the relationship between the outstanding iconophile leaders mentioned by this historian (namely Michael of Synada, Hilarion of Dalmatos and Ioannikios) leads us to the conclusion that Iakobos of Maximina (PmbZ # 2635) and the confessor Iakobos Stoudites (PmbZ # 2632) are one and the same person. However, Iakobos of Anchialos (PmbZ # 2630), the iconophile saint recorded in the Synaxarion of Constantinople, should be considered a different individual.
