ΓΛΩΣΣΑΡΙΟ

 

Alans
A Sarmato-Iranian people who appeared during the Early Byzantine period. The settled in SE Europe and were quickly assimilated by the Visigoths. During the reign of Andronikos II Palaiologos they offered, in return for permission to settle in imperial territory, to fight against the Ottomans, who were spreading across the Byzantine provinces of Asia Minor. After their defeat, they retreated and turned to looting.

Catalan Company, the
(almugavares, compagnia) A group of fully-armed and highly-trained Catalans mercenary warriors, who numbered a few thousand. In 1303 they came to the assistance of Byzantium against the Turks, but soon they turned against the Empire and took to large-scale looting. They conquered the Burgundian duchy of Athens, after the battle of Orchomenos in Copais, in 1311.

chrysobull
(gold seal) Imperial document of the Byzantine state which was so named because it bore the gold seal of the emperor.

despotes
Title introduced in the 12th century. In administrative hierarchy, the office of despotes was under the emperor and the co-emperor. From the 14th century onwards, the title was given to the governors of the Byzantine Peloponnese.

indiction
A 15-year cycle according to which a year was assigned in the Middle Ages. Initially it denoted an extraordinary agricultural tax; later on (under Constantine I) it was a tax of which the amount remained unchanged during a 15-year cycle. It gradually acquired a chronological meaning, which it kept even after the tax ceased to exist. The chronological system based on indictions became mandatory under Justinian I. The system was not absolutely precise, since it was the years of the indiction that were reckoned (first indiction, second indiction and so on, until the fifteenth), while the cycles themselves were not numbered.

menologema
Menologema designates a way of undesigning a particular kind of imperial documents. It was a statement of month and indiction, but was perceived as imperial or patriarchal signature. The emperoor used red ink, while the patriarch and some high-rank church officials used black ink. It was in use from the 7th C. up to 1394.

prostagma
A kind of Byzantine imperial document, also known as horismos. As for its content, it was usually a short administrative order to an imperial functionary or a trusted person. It was usually written on wide paper, without the signature and the seal of the Emperor, but at the end of the document the imperial menologema (statement of month and indiction with the value of imperial signature) was added in red ink.

titulary
A prelate who bore as a distinction the title of the bishop or metropolitan of an inactive ecclesiastical province.
