The Dečani chronicle (Serbian: Дечански летопис) is a Serbian-language manuscript written in the second half of the 15th century[1] in the Dečani monastery.
Transcription and publishing
[edit]During the transcription of the Dečani chronicle from the original manuscript, the transcriber not only transcribed it, but also interpreted the original text.[2]
It was published by Serafim Ristić in his work Dečani Monuments.[3] In 1908 its translation into Russian was published in Saint Petersburg by deacon Nikolai Mavrov.[4]
Content
[edit]The earliest mention of Ibarski Kolašin is in the 1595 register found in the Dečani chronicle which includes all of Kolašin's villages and their registered inhabitants.[5] This chronicle explains the Serbian-language origin of the name of the town Šabac.[6]
The Dečani chronicle discusses members of the Nemanjić dynasty, in particular Stefan Nemanja and some his descendants.[7] It describes the death of Stefan Dečanski after he was first denigrated by his stepmother Simonida.[8] The chronicle presents information about natural phenomena that accompanied Stefan's death, including the solar eclipse.[9] The Dečani chronicle is one of four medieval chronicles which mention Simeon Uroš, the half-brother of Emperor Dušan, and his actions to temporarily seize the Serbian throne.[10]
This chronicle mentions the Battle of Rovine of 1395 and explains that Prince Marko and Constantine Dragaš died in this battle.[11] This chronicle also explains that Marko's brother, Andreja Mrnjavčević, died in the Battle of Rovine too.[10] The Dečani chronicle describes how the Ottoman military commander Skanderbeg fled the battlefield in Momina Klisura in 1444, near modern-day Pazardzhik in Bulgaria, after being defeated by Serbian Despot Đurađ Branković.[12]

Най-после има в сръб- ските летописи едно интересно известие, което представя отзвук за участието на Георгя Бранко- вич в боя пред Момина-Клисура. В Дечанския летопис под датата 1444 стои. „И побеже Скендер-бег и разби јего деспоть кодь Момини Клисури завоми турски кьзь дербендь подле Татар-Пазрджика".
