The Chrysobull of the Bulgarian Tsar John Alexander for the Monastery of Zographou (March 1342, Indiction X)

Summary/Abstract: The article contains the edition, translation, commentary and photograph of the chrysobull of Bulgarian ruler John Alexander (1331–1371) for the Athonite monastery of Zographou, dating from March 1342, indiction X, confirming to the Bulgarian convent the possession of the village of Chandax in the valley of the Lower Strymon. Watermills located in the settlement and its vicinity were to become objects of protracted disputes and litigations with the Chilandar monastery in the course of 14th century. The aforementioned village was, in fact, given to the Bulgarian monks by the chrysobull of Byzantine Emperor John V Palaeologus (1341–1391), issued in January of the same year, while John Alexander only explains in his document how he pleaded with the Emperor to endow his compatriots.
