Via Nik Peachey Η σειρά «ΒΥΖΑΝΤΙΝΟΙ ΚΑΙ ΛΟΓΙΟΙ ΚΑΛΛΙΤΕΧΝΕΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΝΑΓΕΝΝΗΣΗ» επιδιώκει να παρουσιάσει τις ιστορικές πληροφορίες που συνδέουν το ΒΥΖΑΝΤΙΟ με την ΙΤΑΛΙΑ. Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο παρουσιάζεται μέσα από πληθώρα πλάνων από περιοχές της ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΥΠΟΛΗΣ, της ΒΕΝΕΤΙΑΣ και της ΦΕΡΡΑΡΑΣ, το ταξίδι των επιφανών Ορθόδοξων ιερωμένων-με επικεφαλείς τον Αυτοκράτορα ΙΩΑΝΝΗ Η ΠΑΛΑΙΟΛΟΓΟ και τον ΠΑΤΡΙΑΡΧΗ ΙΩΣΗΦ-από την Πόλη στην ΙΤΑΛΙΑ, για την αναθέρμανση των σχέσεων με τους Καθολικούς και τον Πάπα. Μετά από πολύμηνες θεολογικές διαπραγματεύσεις των δύο αντιπροσωπειών στη Σύνοδο που τελικά πραγματοποιήθηκε στη ΦΕΡΡΑΡΑ, υπογράφτηκε το «ΕΝΩΤΙΚΟ» στις 6 ΙΟΥΛΙΟΥ 1439. Το ντοκιμαντέρ κλείνει με τις αντιδράσεις που προκλήθηκαν στην ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΥΠΟΛΗ, με την επιστροφή των ιεραρχών και την τύχη της Ένωσης. Via sofilab, diabazw |
