abstract = "Познато је да су се неке хиландарске повеље до 1761. године
налазиле у Сремским Карловцима, кад су биле враћене у матични манастир.
На основу расположивих података може се утврдити како су и које повеље пре
те године биле донете из Хиландара, као и особа којој су оне биле потребне
у Карловцима. Могуће је установити и које су од повеља 1761. биле враћене
у манастир Хиландар, а које су задржане у Карловцима, од којих се неколико
сада налази у Музеју Српске православне цркве у Београду, Before 1761, the Chilandar hieromonk Timotej (Jovanović) brought several medieval
charters to Sremski Karlovci (Karlowitz), without the knowledge and approval of
the monastery administration. The same year, some of them were taken over by
Prohegumen Pajsije and returned to the monastery. The charters were brought for
the theologian and historian Jovan Rajić, who was at the time a teacher at the Latin
School in Sremski Karlovci, and who needed them as a resource while preparing the
monumentally conceived History of Various Slavic Peoples, Notably the Bulgarians,
Croats, and Serbs, published in four volumes three decades later. Rajić stayed in
Hilandar in 1758 seeking to collect historical sources, but he did not manage to get
access to the charters on that occasion, so he found a way to have them brought to
Sremski Karlovci. It was at Chilandar that he read them, and it was there that he
copied six charters to be used in his book. In line with the spirit of the time, he paid
greater attention to the literature than to sources. Due to this, he cited information
from charters in notes, to support his account in the discussion section of the book.
Regardless of this, Jovan Rajić is merited as the first Serbian historian to use the
Chilandar charters in a book guided by scholarly ambitions.
The author of this paper demonstrates that Hieromonk Timotej (Jovanović) brought
to Jovan Rajić eleven Chilandar documents: a manuscript copy of the Karyes Typikon,
a collective charter of King Stefan Dušan to the Chilandar monastery, a manuscript
copy of King Milutin’s founding charter for the pyrgos in Chrusia, a manuscript
copy of the charter of Emperor Dušan on Livada and Paleokometica, Emperor
Dušan’s charter on the boundaries of the Chilandar estates in Serbia and Romania,
a manuscript copy of the charter of Emperor Dušan on the boundaries of the Chi landar estates on Mount Athos, Prince Lazar’s charter on the Chilandar infirmary,
Vuk Branković’s charter on the villages of Gornja Gadimlja and Donja Gadimlja,
a manuscript copy of the charter issued by Mara Branković and her sons on the
village of Orahovac, Mara Branković’s charter on Dubrovnik’s income, and the
charter of a Vlach aristocrat to Chilandar.
In 1761, Prohegumen Paisije managed to return to the Chilandar monastery no
more than seven charters. The others were retained in Sremski Karlovci and are now
held by the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Belgrade; these namely
include Vuk Branković’s charter on Gornja Gadimlja and Donja Gadimlja, Emperor
Dušan charter on Livada and Paleokometica, and his charter on the Chilandar es tates in Serbia and Romania, while the founding charter for King Milutin’s pyrgos
in Chrusia, was lost in the meantime",
