Čalapija Dmitrь

Description

He lived before summer 1343, maybe even later. He obtained the authority of the village Mel by the mercy of the God and of the lord king (Azь grěšni rabь Hristovь Dmitrь Čalapija božiomь i po milosti gospodina kralja, priluči mi se ōbladati selom Melomь). There was a watermill in the vicinity of the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo. It was built by Nikola Pravec and Dragoslav Bal. Dmitr Čalapija donated the watermill to the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo, because the mill was under his authority (i imah plisijastь blizь domu Matere Božije Htetovьskyje voděnicu, što běše učinilь Nikola Pravьcь i Dragoslavь a na toi na dělě moje oblasti, i azь pomenuhь žitije prěžde nas byvših i davših milostije božьstvьnymь crьkvamь, tožde slovoi azь vьspomenuvь priložih Materi Božijei darь voděnicu Pravčevu i Balovu).

Land Inventory-Brebion (Nomic's Charter) Source The Land Inventory-Brebion is a register of all land holdings of the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo. The collection is the work of one scribe, but it contains different acts coming from a wider time span. Until Bubalo's analysis the document was called after the first line Brěvno matere Božije Htětovskije. Bubalo corrected the reading into brebion, which is a loanword reflecting the greek word βρεβίον (inventory in the basic meaning). A copy of a Nomic’s Charter is also preserved in the Land Inventory-Brebion. Nomics were public notaries in Serbia. The Nomic's Charter was created some time before the Brebion (1343-1345 or in the first half of the 1340's).
