was credited with leading the resistance to the destruction of the icon of Christ on the
Chalke Gate. This thesis focuses on the icons of Theodosia, which date largely to the
Palaiologan period (1261-1453). The icons are examined through an investigation of the
cult of Theodosia in the Palaiologan period, taking into account important contemporary
political and religious issues, such as the relationship between Byzantium and the West
and the nature of Orthodox doctrine. Issues regarding women and icons will also be
considered. / Committee in Charge:
