The publication of the critical text of a work by Gregory Palamas – espe¬cially one as important as the Hagioretic Tomos – is a cause for celebration. Until now the only Palamas text that has been edited in accordance with the best modern standards is Anne Philippidis-Braat’s ‘Captivity Dossier’ (1979). Even Robert Sinkewicz’s One Hundred and Fifty Chap¬ters (1988) falls a little short in this respect. With regard to the Hagioretic Tomos, we have had to rely hitherto on the very inferior text of Basil Pseftonkas published in 1967 in the second vol¬ume of Panagiotis Christou’s edition of Palamas’ collected works. Besides making some eccen¬tric emendations of his own, Pseftonkas bases his text on the four earlier printed editions (including Jacques-Paul Migne, which is only a reprint of the text published in the Philokalia by Nikodemos the Hagiorite), supplemented by readings from an arbitrary selection of early manuscripts. For his own edition, Antonio Rigo, the world’s leading Palamas scholar, has collated all twelve manuscripts that contain the text, besides also taking into account the indirect tradition and the readings of the earliest printed edition, that of Dositheos II of Jerusalem (1698). As a result, Rigo’s Tomo aghioritico not only establishes an authoritative text that is unlikely to be superseded but also gives us insights into how and when Palamas drafted his Tomos and the use he subsequently made of it.
