Between 1313 and 1316, Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (1282-1321) built a foundation as a sepulchral church, a mausoleum, dedicated to St. Stephen the Martyr, in the area of Kosovska Mitrovica, in a place called Banjska. Soon afterwards, the founder issued a comprehensive charter to his foundation, first, in all likelihood, in the form of a rotulus, with a gold seal at the end, which, for the sake of practicality, was written in book form on vellum. The major portion of the extant book-chrysobull is of a donation-related character and ends with King Milutin’s ceremonial signature, followed by short expositions by King Dragutin, Milutin’s brother, and the then archbishop Nicodemus. The Chrysobull of St. Stephen contains a detailed description of the location of numerous estates (“fiefs”) that King Milutin gifted to several settlements along the Ibar, Sitnica, and Lab rivers, in Ras, Hvosno, Plav, Budimlje, and Zeta. There is an extensive list of obligations and privileges of farmers, stockbreeders and craftsmen in respect to the Banjska Monastery. Soon after the Battle of Kosovo (1389), the Turks plundered Milutin’s foundation and carried off the Chrysobull of St. Stephen, which has been kept in the Sultan’s treasury in the Old Serai in Istanbul since the mid-fifteenth century.
The present edition comprises two books.
The first integral phototypic edition of the original manuscript of charter from Raška (from 1314-1346) named the Chrysobull of St. Stephen, published by King Milutin after building of his mausoleum legacy, Monastery of St. Stephen at Banjska. The transcription of this charter, made in form of a book (approximately at the same time as the lost original scroll) was discovered in 1889 at Old Serai in Istanbul. The text was printed in two editions in Belgrade and Vienna in 1890, and it is published for the first time in its original form according to the photographs provided by Museum Topkapi in Istanbul.
The second tome, besides the translation of the charter into modern Serbian language, also includes authentic-looking prints of both her previous editions - the Belgrade edition by Ljubomir Kovačević and the Vienna edition by Vatroslav Jagić; the study by Đorđe Trifunović on history of the charter (with annexes, including nine previously unpublished letters by Stojan Novaković and Vatroslav Jagić on printing the charter); study of Academy member Aleksandar Loma dedicated to toponomastics of the monuments; two contributions by Viktor Savić on relationship between the original text and its graphic-typographic representations; study by Gordana Tomović on geographic region, position and boundaries of Milutin’s legacy manor.
