| Summary: | Based on a rereading of King Dušan’s chrysobulls to the Treskavac Monastery,
the paper indicates a link between the sacred space of the Treskavac
Monastery on the mountain and the urban space - i.e. the medieval city of
Prilep and the nobility - at the foot of the mountain. Judging by these
charters, the reasons for bestowing donations on the Treskavac Monastery by
the numerous members of the aristocracy in Pelagonia and Prilep seem to
suggest a religious and funerary context. At the same time, the paper aims to
highlight sacred topography, i.e. the churches in the possession of the
Treskavac Monastery which made up a sacred network on the territory of Prilep
and were vertically, spiritually and economically tied to the monastery on
the mountain. |
