Ignatije

Description

The charter for the monastery in Gračanica does not give a strong support for the identification of Ignatije with his namesake, who was Bishop of Lipljan. Mentioned several times in the Inventory of property of the Holy Virgin Monastery in Htětovo from 1342/1343. In Vrěviō mentioned only as bishop. Ignatije held probably the abbotʼs office of the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo before his career as bishop. He purchased a field above a furrow on the right side of the emperorʼs road, which was reaching the road called after the village of Lěška near Jablance, from Gjuro, Radunь and the sons of Polelěj for the horse of Budimirь (Niva tu nad brazdom, i do lěška puti u Jablan᾿ce ō desnu stranu careva puti, što kupi piskopь Ignati za Budimirova konja, što běše dalь za dušu ōtь Polelějevěhь synovь i ōd Raduna i ōd Gjuroja). A certain Anʼdrijanь, son-in-law of Pardo, sold the rest of the field called Zlovadnica above Trěboš to Bishop Ignatije for a mare and 2 perper. The field bordered on the old furrow and on the road called after the village Poroj (Niva Zlovadnica, što kupi Sava Surkišь u Parʼda Koste nad Trěbošom a ōstalo dokupi piskopь Ignatije u Anʼdrijana, zeta Pardova, za kobilu, za 2 perper. A mega nivě toi do stare brazde i do poroiska puti). Bishop Ignatije bought the field called Ilovica under Drěnovec and under a road from Pardo Kosta for 18 perper (Niva Ilovica pod Drěnovcemь pod putemь, što kupi Ignatije piskopь u Parda Koste za 18 perper). He acquired a meadow under Velgošt and under a road from Pardo Kosta for a horse and 30 perper (I livadu kupi Ignatie piskopь pod Velьgoštom pod putemь u Parda Koste za konja, za 30 perper). He obtained a 25 zamet field in Zlovadnica under the churchʼs field, which was reaching the boundary of Drьmanь, inexpensively from Manoil(o) Globica and Globicaʼs brother (Niva na Zlovadnici što kupi piskopь Ignatije u Manoila Globice i u bratije mu; malo uze cěne, a vse priloži crьkvi za svoju dušu, nizь crьkvnu nivu i do Drьmanove mege, na 25 zametь). A certain Gōnь, with his wife Theōdora, sold the field called Gumnište to Ignatije for 8 perper and 9 run of wool (Niva Gumnište što kupi piskopь Ignatije u Gōna i u žene mu Theōdore za 8 perper 9 runь vlьnь). Ignatije bought also the rest of a field in Nikiforovec near the churchʼs field, which belonged to Theōdora and her daughter Jelena, for 10 perper. The bishop was also responsible for the written record of this sale transaction. The act was signed in the presence of the witnesses Kalojan 2 from Lěška and the two sons of Radoslavь Drobnjakь, Argirь and Hranь (Niva u Nikiforovci, uzь crьkvnu nivu što kupi igumьnь Theōktistь u Theōdore i u čtere Jelene za 10 perperь, a dokupi piskopь Ignatije i zapisa. A Tomu svědoci: Kalojanь ōd Lěška, Mihovь šugra, i dva syna Radoslava Drobnjaka, Argirь i Hran).

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).
