Ignatios 22 was a Stoudite monk; he was the addressee of six letters from Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15), written between 815 and 818: Theod. Stud., Epp. 130 (a. 815), 131 (spring 816), 184 (a. 816/818), 226 (?autumn 816), 290 (a. 818), 308 (a. 818) (all addressed Ἰγνατίῳ τέκνῳ or τῷ αὐτῷ). He is mentioned in nine further letters from the same period: Theod. Stud., Epp. 118, 133, 146, 150, 223, 225, 330, 411, 498. Possibly he was one of the epistemonarchai appointed by Theodoros 15 in the Stoudite monastery: cf. Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 8, Vita B Theod. Stud. 261A (προχειρίζεται μὲν γὰρ διακονιῶν κεφαλὰς, τίθησι δὲ τὰς ὀνομασίας οἰκείας τῷ ἐπιτηδεύματι, ἐπιστημονάρχας καὶ παιδευτὰς καὶ ἐπιτηρητὰς τούτους ἀποκαλέσας). In 815 and afterwards Ignatios 22 was living in the monastery of Sakkoudion together with Ioseph 3, Naukratios 1 and other Stoudite monks: Theod. Stud., Epp. 130, 184, cf. 133, 146, 150, 223, 225. During the persecution under Leo V (Leo 15) he found refuge once in the house of Anonyma 66: Theod. Stud., Ep. 330. For a while he was in flight with Eusebios 4 and others of the same mind: Theod. Stud., Ep. 308. In 819 he briefly deserted the iconophile cause but was soon persuaded to return by Naukratios 1: Theod. Stud., Ep. 411. He acted as a copyist for Theodoros 15: Theod. Stud., Ep. 226. At an uncertain date, but possibly in 823 he delivered a letter for Theodoros 15 to Anonyma 96 (unnamed tourmarchissa of Hellas), with whom he was apparently acquainted: Theod. Stud., Ep. 498 (τοῦ γραμματηφόρου Ἰγνατίου, τοῦ πνευματικοῦ ἡμῶν υἱοῦ). He is alluded to as a calligrapher (καλλιγραφῶν): Theod. Stud., Catech. Magna 47. Possibly the protokalligraphos in the Stoudite monastery. He may have been a priest: Theod. Stud., Catech. Magna 84. He is alluded to as τέκνον ἠγαπημένον, Theod. Stud., Ep. 308; and as ὁ ἀββᾶς Ἰγνάτιος, Epp. 223, 411.
