This article was motivated by the article of Ath. Papazotos, in which he identified the Byzantine church of Panaghia Gavalliotissa in Edessa, founded by Thomas Prelioubovitch and his wife Maria Palaeologina, with the church of the Old Metropolis of Edessa, dedicated today to the Assumption of Virgin Mary. Nevertheless, according to historical evidence of the 17th cent., it is proved that the church of the Old Metropolis was dedicated to God’s Wisdom (Sophia tou Theou). This is confirmed by the representation of its founders, which belongs to the church’s illustrations of thethird quarter of the 14th cent. (PI. Ια,β). It shows the founder (PI. 3) — who does not identify with Thomas Prelioubovitch — and his two children, dedicating the church’s effigy, carrying the name God’sWisdom (PI. Iß,2), to Jesus Christ. (EN)
