The present article sheds light on the life and activity of Maximos Neamonites, a little-known πεπαιδευμένος active in early fourteenth-century Byzantium. On the basis of his hitherto unpublished letter collection, the article portrays Neamonites as a resident of Constantinople, writing pleas to imperial and ecclesiastical officials; father to Ioannes Kalampakes; and monk at Nea Mone. Furthermore, Neamonites is presented as a schoolmaster in a constant quest to secure an income on the basis of his teaching activities; bibliophile; broker, occasionally lifting his pen to interfere on behalf of others; and letter-writer.
