Losses of Manuscripts It is impossible to calculate the number of books that have been lost or removed from the library of the Monastery over the past centuries, since we have only in a few instances specific information (which, in the majority of cases, relate to manuscripts of classical texts). The first visitor to the Monastery about whom we know that he had an interest in the library and its manuscripts was Cyriacus of Ancona, who visited the Monastery on 19 November 144462. Cyriacus mentions two manuscripts in the library, one a codex of the Iliad of Homer and the other a codex of Ovid in Greek translation63. No evidence has so far come to light of purchase or removal of manuscripts from Vatopaidi on his part. Fifty years later he was followed by Ianos Laskaris64 in the context of his mission (1490-1492) for the Medici. We know that he took with him at least one manuscript, which is now Laur. IV 11, a copy of the then Vatopaidi Ms. Burney 9565. In the 16th century, Nikolaos Sophianos, in his mission for Mendoza (1543) copied the famous ‘Ptolemy’ (Ms. 655) at Vatopaidi66. We do not know, up to now, how many and which books he took with him67.
