Statement on St. Sava's kellion [microform], [ca. 1359].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/18418162

Statement after a meeting of the brotherhood of the monastery to discuss the Kellion of St. Sava in Karyes and its relationship to Hilandar Monastery in light of discussions held with Empress Jelena of Serbia (wife of Dušan), who is referred to here as Sister Elisaveta. This helps to date the document to the period after Dušan's death. The text refers to a visit to Mt. Athos and Karyes by Queen Jelena after the death of Dušan. This is remarkable because Mt. Athos has long been closed to women and because this visit is not known to current historiography. It also states that Queen Jelena wishes to take over (occupy?) the Kellion of St. Sava.
