UNESCO has declared it a World Heritage site.[1] It is named after St. John of Patmos. HistoryIn 1088, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos gave the island of Patmos to the soldier-priest John Christodoulos. The greater part of the monastery was completed by Christodoulos three years later. He heavily fortified the exterior because of the threats of piracy and Seljuk Turks.[2] 330 manuscripts are housed in the library (267 on parchment), including 82 manuscripts of the New Testament. Minuscules: 1160-1181, 1385-1389, 1899, 1901, 1966, 2001-2002, 2080-2081, 2297, 2464-2468, 2639, 2758, 2504, 2639, and lectionaries.[3] As of 2012, 40 monks reside here.{{Citation needed|date=May 2012}} The monastery has, amongst its relics, the skull of Saint Thomas the Apostle.[4] See also
