Description

Mentioned in the the chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, which confirmed the foundation of the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary by the Sebastokrator Dejan in the village of Arhiljevica and its landed property. The original charter has not come upon us and its content is preserved only in two later transcripts. The older one (Hil. 36) is probably an authentic transcript, but its dating is questionable, because it contradicts historical circumstances known from other reliable sources. Therefore, the date, when the lost orginal was issued, can only be approximated to the years 1354 or 1355. Hil. 150/152 differs from its predecessor in the dispositional section, containing two previously unmentioned villages which do not appear even in the Dragaš charter from 1378/1379. It was made in the 15th century or later with the intent of obtaining or confirming the enlargement of Hilandar's Arhiljevica metochion. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV. Dušan confirmed in the year 1354 or 1355 the Sebastokrator’s Dejan’s donation of several possessions to the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the village of Arhiljevica. In the boundary description of the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the village of Arhiljevica the Church of Saint Petka, which was probably erected by Takša, is mentioned (A vo mege crьkvi matere Božijei Arьhilevьskoi. Ōtь krьsta putemь koi grede ōdь Podolěšanь u Stlьpčani, tere ōdь Stlьbičnogo děla, tere nis potōkь koi spada u Bělovodički potokь, tere nis potōkь bělovodički gde ishodi dolь na Klepala, tere prěhodi nadь jazь Parculeve voděnice, tere na Dobrišorь do mege Rugikě, tere uzь rěke Stlьpьčku, uzь dolь veli desni, tere na gradině děl u goru prěko više Matěja u Črьni Vrьhь, a ōdь Črьnoga Vrьha upravь na Kobilu, ōdь Kobile na Vodičnikь upravь. I ōdь Planinice putemь na Jablьčno, tere na kirь Todorovь ōdrь, tere po dělu na mramorь, tere na Alavanь deo u voděnicu, ta na Takšinu Svetu Petku).

The original charter has not come upon us, and its content is preserved only in two later transcripts. The older one (Hilandar 36) is probably an authentic transcript, but its dating is questionable, because it contradicts historical circumstances known from other reliable sources.

Hilandar 150/152 differs from its predecessor in the dispositional section, containing two previously unmentioned villages, which do not appear even in the charter by the Serbian Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš from 1378/79. It was made in the 15th century or later with the intent of obtaining or confirming the enlargement of Chilandar's Arhiljevica metochion.
