Anthony of Novgorod, originally named Dobryna Yadreykovich, was a prominent 13th-century prelate and monk. Born into a wealthy family in Novgorod, he joined the Khutyn Monastery around 1190. He served as the archbishop of Novgorod during two separate periods, first briefly in 1210 and later from approximately 1225 until his retirement in 1228. His historical writings, specifically a pilgrim's account of his travels to Constantinople, provide valuable insights into the religious monuments of that city. He passed away in 1232 at the Khutyn Monastery.
