| description | The inscription by the portrait of Jovan Oliver, the founder, in the main
church of monastery Lesnovo, contains the earliest data on high Byzantine
court dignities he held. The founder is portrayed invested as a
sebastokrator, the inscription is written over an older one which it
partially repeats and gives the information on the two Byzantine titles of
Jovan Oliver: in the first part of the inscription there is reference on his
title of sebastokrator “in Serbs”, while in the second part he is mentioned
with the title of despotes “of all Serbian and maritime regions and učestnik
(sc. particeps) of Greeks”. In the inscription both of the dignities are
connected with the king Stefan Dušan. The analysis of the data of the
founder’s inscription, when put into the context of the civil war that lasted
in Byzantium from 1341 to 1347, enables the conclusions on the exact
Byzantine origin of his titles and approximate chronology of his investment.
