Description

In the charter of the Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo the boundaries of Štenče are described. The village of Štenče and its possessions bordered on the Metochion of Sveta Nedela (Štenče selo sь vsěmi pravinami I s megami, sь modričkymi i gostivarskymi, i do metochyje Svetyje Nedělje). According to the Land Inventory Brebion the Priest Nikola from Rěčice donated a field above Sveta Nedela to the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo for the sake of his salvation (Niva nad Svetomь Nedelomь što dade popь Nikola ōdь Rěčicь). The same document describes how a certain Savdik, since he wanted to have child, donated a field above Sveta Nedela to the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo (p. 297, art. 76: Savdikь viděvь jere ne imamь poroda da što priložihь Materi Božije za kupь za to da ně rěči, nь davamь nivu nad Svetomь Nedelomь ōtь puti podluž᾿ka, us᾿ put měčički, i do brazde podluž᾿ke, i vinu do mege podluž᾿ke de me pomenuje crьkva).

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).
