Misinopolites (Demetrios)	Person	01.09.1334	31.08.1335	Sponsor	Mentioned in the first (1334/1336), second and third charter (1343/1345) of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of Treskavec. At his disposal was a nearly 9 hectare large estate, which lay – according to the context of the charter – in the vicinity of the estates of the Byzantine emperor and was sold by Misinopolites to the Monastery of Treskavec at an unknown date (kupenica ōtь Misinopolita u carevě zevьgelatii, kьblomь .r.). He was the donor of the Church of St. Demetrius in the east of the medieval lower town of Prilep (today Varoš). He sponsored the renovation and the painted decoration of this church. It is uncertain, whether the preserved portrait of the donor in the church itself and the donor inscription [δέ(ησις) τοῦ δού[λου] τοῦ θ(εο)ῦ Δημητρίου τοῦ Μησηνοπολήτου καὶ κτήτορ(ος) τοῦ ναοῦ] in the southern aisle of the western part of the church attest the Misinopolites or his son.

Monastery of Treskavec	Place			After the conquest of the town of Prilep and its surrounding area, the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan issued a Slavonic charter in 1334/35 for the Monastery of Treskavec to the North of Prilep, while he was most probably staying there. The upper part of the attached photograph shows the Monastery of Treskavec during the First World War. Its title "Kloster Varos" is misleading, because this monastery lies in the mountains to the North of the town of Prilep and is not situated in the Old Town (Varoš) of Prilep.

Treskavac 1	Source	After the conquest of the town of Prilep and its surrounding area, King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) issued a Slavonic charter in 1334/35 for the Monastery of Treskavec to the North of Prilep. He donated villages, settlements, abandoned lands, summer and winter pastures, watermills, metochia and churches as well as a fair in the town of Prilep to the monastery. Božidar Ferjančić argued that the second charter (Treskavac 2) for the Monastery of Treskavec is a forgery, while the first and third (Treskavac 1 and 3) are authentic. Djordje Bubalo advanced the opinion that the second charter (Treskavac 2) is an unofficial document based on the first and the third charter (Treskavac 1 and 3).
