Kalomenь

Description

Attested in the chrysobull charter from 1300 issued by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg near Skopje. Mentioned also in the chrysobull charter of the Byzantine Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos from 1299/1300 for the Monastery of Saint Niketas near Skopje and in the Serbian translation of the chrysobull charter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos for the Tower of Hrusija of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos from 1299/1300 (or 1308). He founded a church of Saint Ilija. He gave it to the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg near Skopje for the right to have a grave (I dade Kalomenь za grobь svoi crьkvь Svetago Iliju sь nivōmь, ōd puti carьskogo koi grede mimo Svety Theōdōrь i do Gornjego puti koi ide prězь brьdo do narotija putma, i ōbь sije strane brьda do kruše gornice i do smokve, ta dolu do puti do vodovažde). The Byzantine Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos donated some fields near Lisiča to the Monastery of Saint Niketas near Skopje, which were in the vicinity of the propriety of Kalomenь (ὁμοίως περὶ τὸ ἐκεῖσε βάλτον, εἰς τόπον καλούμενον τὴν Λυσίτζιανιν, χωράφια τινὰ πλησίον τῶν δικαίων τοῦ Καλομένου). The Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos donated theses fields to the Tower of Hrusija of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos (akožde i u Blatě u Lisičahь, několikō nivija blizь pravinь Kalomenověhь).

Skopje Monastery of St. George 2 Source The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282–1321) issued this charter after the refurbishment of the Monastery of St. George-Gorg near Skopje in the year 1300. He confirmed the donations given to the monastery by former Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian rulers. Finally, King Milutin also granted new privileges, landed property and population to the respective monastery.
Skopje Sveti Nikita 1 Source In ca. 1299/1300 the Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (reigned 1295-1320) issued a charter for the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos, through which the possessions of the Monastery of Sveti Nikita in and near Skopje were confirmed.
Skopje Sveti Nikita 2 Source In ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (reigned 1282-1328) confirmed, at the instigation of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321), the possessions of the Monastery of Sveti Nikita near Skopje for the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos. This charter is only preserved in a Serbian translation. It seems plausible that Andronikos II had also issued a Greek charter in the years 1299/1300, because a parallel Byzantine charter on this topic is preserved by his Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (reigned 1295-1320), which was issued most probably in the years 1299/1300 and in which most of the mentioned places had also been donated.
