At the beginning of the 16th century, in 1508, a very strong earthquake hit the island of Crete causing great destruction, especially in its eastern part. Manolis Sklavos, a poet, who is unknown to us from elsewhere, accounted in the Destruction of Crete (Tis Kritis o chalasmos) a poem of about three hundred verses, the tragic moments of the earthquake, the victims and the damage to the buildings. In his poem, Sklavos emphasized that the earthquake was a divine punishment that occurred due to people’s sins, and therefore called them to pray and repent. The Destruction of Crete is one most important historical sources of this earthquake. In this poem, we believe that the name “Crete” refers only to the city of Candia and not to the island in general. Based on the content of the poem, we may assume that Manolis Sklavos was a native of Candia and that he was in the city at the time of the earthquake. Another important source about the 1508 earthquake in Crete is the letter of Girolamo Donato, the Venetian Duke of Crete, dated July 15, 1508.

Since Manolis Chatzidakis’s pivotal publications on post-Byzantine Cretan icon painting in the 1970s, research in the field is, by now, very well established. In turn, these studies have demonstrated the contribution of Venetian Crete’s artistic production to European culture. Despite Giorgio Vasari’s condemnations of the ‘Greek style’, Byzantine icons remained popular in Renaissance Europe among Western patrons. Research on Venetian Crete has greatly benefitted from the survival of its archives, presently housed in Venice (Archivio di Stato di Venezia), an incredibly rich and invaluable source of information. One of the best-known published and referenced documents from these archives, supporting the wider popularity and dissemination of Cretan icons, is a contract offered to three Cretan painters dated 4 July 1499 concerning the production and delivery of 700 icons of the Virgin in just 42 days, by 15 August 1499, the day of the feast of the Dormition of the Virgin. This paper revisits the information the famous contract provides with the aim to scrutinise it further.
