THE CODEX OF THE HOLY METROPOLIS OF KORÇA ANDSELASPHORUS AS A HISTORICAL SOURCE
(Summary)
ome inferences from the full study of the Codex of the Holy Metropolis ofKorça and Selasphorus (AQSh, F 488 D 99) are presented in this article. The
acts that have been registered in this codex date as early as 1676 and finish in the beginning of the 20 th century. The codex is made of paper, its approximate size is260 x 440 mm. The paper is thick without lines. The codex is bound with acardboard cover that has been endued with a sheet of leather without decorations.The codex contains 190 folios. The first written folio (f 5r ) contains a note, where itis said that the codex is a property of the Metropolis of Korça and Selasphorus, andhas been offered as a gift to this Metropolis in the year 1676 by the Archbishop of
Ohrid, Parthenios.The codex is written in the Greek language. The codex of Korça andSelasphorus is a precious part of those historical sources that give informationabout the Christian communities during the Ottoman era, namely about theadministrative and legal organization, the economic and social realities, the community and the political reality of theorthodox Christian communities.
The acts of this codex contain important data about the mainly anarchic sit-uation of Albania during the 17th century. The letter that the Christian communityof Korça directed to Ali Pasha of Ioannina in the year 1818, can be mentioned, orthe decisions taken in the year 1728 in Boboshtica against the arbitration of themerchants and the landlords, and the initiatives for organization, in a time when theOttoman Empire was declining.
A lot of information is preserved about the organizational and functionalmethods of the Elders Committee, elected on January 4th
levels of societythrough the will documents contained in the codex.
An important part of the economic life of the Christian community of Korçais presented in the codex. Different residents of Korça, emigrants mainly fromRumania and Egypt, or the guilds of the city would make different gifts in behalfof the Community. Thus can be shown that Korça, like many other ottoman cities,had oriented its economy toward guild-based production.
The codex of Korça contains much information about the educative and
cultural movements in 18th and 19th century. The first school was started in 1723and students from the city and the villages of Korça studied there. In 1830 wasstarted the allilodidactic, the mutual teaching school. While in 1856 the Greekschool was rebuilt. A year lat was started and during its firstyear of existence 150 girls studied.
The urban and construction development of Korça is fairly represented inthe documents of the codex. Through the common contribution, the streets of thecity were covered with cobblestone (end of the 18 th century), the aqueduct was
built (1869), a new cemetery was created (end of the 18 th century), the clock towerwas built (1784), etc. The construction undertaking of the church was very activein this time and responded vividly to the civil and social development of the area.
Through the codex we can retrieve data concerning the visual arts, e.g. about the
