Kallistos 5 was a monk of the monastery of Bonisoi; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, when he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 156 (Κάλλιστος μοναχὸς τοῦ αὐτοῦ μοναστηρίου Βονισῶν (the τοῦ αὐτοῦ is because Ioannes 133, immediately before in the list, was also from Bonisoi); the Latin version, at XIII 155, calls him "Callistus monachus eiusdem monasterii Bonisensis"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
