Abstract

The paper examines a previously largely unknown late-Byzantine document from the archives of the Barlaam monastery in Meteora. Written on paper, the document is only partially preserved, while based on evidence from within the text itself it is attributed to the Despot Nikephoros II Komnenos Angelos Doukas, issued in favour of the town of Stagoi. The type of script dates it to within the late-fourteenth century, while the document provides information regarding society and the economy of the town during the middle part of the century. Following an extensive discussion of the contents of the document, a diplomatic editio princeps is also included.
