Summary: | A small number of imperial grants to monks appear in the Byzantine sources
from the late 13th to the 15th centuries, and mainly in the 14th, before the
Serbian expansion in Macedonia. Especially privileged with the right of
bequeathal and dedication, they were given later to the monastery to which
each of the monks belonged, mostly to the Serbian monastery of Chilandar in
Athos. Due to characteristic differences they represent a special category
between the pronoiai of laymen and the oikonomiai of monasteries. |
