Philip I, Metropolitan of Moscow

Philip I, Metropolitan of Moscow

Philip I ( _ru. Филипп; died 1473), was Metropolitan of Moscow from 1464.

Information about Philip's life only begins in 1455, when he was already the Archbishop of Suzdal. In 1464, he was appointed Metropolitan of Moscow after Theodosius's resignation. In 1470s, Philip was actively engaged in a struggle against the Polish-Lithuanian influence over Novgorod. In 1472, he was against admitting a papal legate into Moscow, who had been accompanying Sophia Paleologue. That same year, Philip started reconstructing the Cathedral of the Dormition in the Moscow Kremlin. However, he hired inexperienced workers and soon after his death the building collapsed. It was rebuilt by Aristotile Fioravanti.
