GERASIMOS AVLONITES (fl. 1752-1773) was a Greek Christian leader who consistently identified himself as the Greek Orthodox Bishop of Arcadia in Crete. A native of Corfu, then dominated by Venice, he worked in Crete during the period of Ottoman domination there. He traveled throughout Europe, visiting Holland, England, Sweden and Switzerland and leaving a trail of letters and other writings in mixed Greek and Latin in each place. His interactions with John Wesley and his ordinations of Evangelical ministers in the 1760s first prompted awareness of him. This volume gathers all known sources for Gerasimos with images of original manuscripts, transcriptions of manuscript materials, and translations.
