Житие на Стефан Лазаревич и Сръбски родослов в ръкопис № 88, Ф. 201, РГАДА
Life of Stefan Lazarević and Serbian Genealogy in Manuscript No. 88, Coll. 201, RGADA

Summary/Abstract: The article examines one of the unique works in the manuscript RGADA Coll. 201 (Obolensky). Desc. 1. archival unit 88 – a contamination, including an excerpt from the Life of Stefan Lazarevich by Constantine of Kostenec and a genealogical diagram. Both texts trace the genealogy of the Nemanjic dynasty in two branches, beginning with Stefan Parvovenchani and Vulkan, respectively. The excerpt from the hagiographic text contains information mainly about the descendants of Stephen. The second part does not overlap with any known Serbian genealogy or chronicle, has a larger chronological scope and ends with Jovan Brankovic. The persons included in the Genealogy are united not only by their belonging to the dynasty, but also by the fact that they are rulers (or wives of rulers). The text in the manuscript Obolen. 88 testifies to a different understanding of power, and this is what distinguishes it from other preserved Serbian genealogies.
