Could anyone explain to me what is the title Ἄρχων Πρωτοψάλτης?
I saw this title being used for multiple people, but with slightly different titles, like with Lykourgos Angelopoulos, who was never the protopsaltis in Constantinople.
It just seems to make no sense anymore when so many people are awarded this title outside of Constantinople, when the title, from what I knew, could only be awarded to one peson, the protopsaltis at the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople.
Can someone tell me who is the actual Archon Protopsaltis at the Ecumenical Patriachate in Constantinople now?
Also, is the list of Archontes recorded, just like the list of Ecumenical Patriarchs of Constantinople?
