Research information

"With the Lord’s mercy, I, voivode and ruler Radu. Hereby give this order in my holy and godly capacity for the monastery of Cobiia, where the titular saint is the hierarch and worker of miracles Nicolae, to get the vineyards from Călinești which belonged to the holy monastery as estates to be chosen, because these vineyards that I write about above were an estate of the holy monastery. Therefore, you, Micule ot Călinești when you see my letter look for what abbot Manasie said before me about how you start on those vineyards of the monastery and you mind your business. Therefore, keep watch every day and leave in peace the vineyards of the holy monastery. And should you want to bargain with anyone. look for those people who got you in the monastery’s vineyards, because those people who got you into the monastery’s vineyards are also looking for the prey. Let it be no other way, as I have said Ispravnic, Papa vel logofăt Written by Stanciul, May 9, 7131 (1623".
