The third and final volume of the Actes de Vatopedi, including the documents dating from 1377 to 1500, is one of the most significant of the “Archives de l’Athos” series. The documentary material of the monastery of Vatopedi for this period is exceptionally rich and sheds light on a number of often little-known topics, such as the confiscation of monastic estates by the Byzantines after 1371, the conditions in Macedonia after Constantinople reconquered the province in 1403, and the status of the Athonite monasteries and their properties after the first and the second Ottoman conquest of Macedonia, in the 1380s and 1420s, respectively. The text volume begins with an introduction on the monastery’s history and real estate in the period in question. This is followed by the description, summary, commentary and edition of 99 Greek documents, most of them published for the first time, as well as of two Latin documents. The volume also includes summaries and commentaries of 8 Slavic and 38 Ottoman documents and a study on the monastery’s properties as known from the late 15th- and early 16th-c. Ottoman tax registers. Finally, the reader will find a very detailed general index. A separate album of 100 plates contains reproductions of the edited documents and of two seals.
