Mănăstirea din Perii Maramureșului, între Charistikariat și Stavropighie
The Peri Monastery –Maramureș, between Charistikariat and Stauropegion

Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes from an ecclesiological and canonical perspective the founding of the stauropegion from Peri (historical Maramureș) – 1391. It is assumed that the transformation of a local monastery into a dependency of the Patriarchate of Constantinople is not just a local affair, but must be assessed in the broad context of Patriarch Anthony IV of Constantinople's efforts to strengthen the authority of the emperor and his own, with ecclesiological accents very close to those of the Roman Church. Regarding the evolution of the monastery from a local one to one dependent on Constantinople, it is estimated that it evolves from a charistike regime to stavropegion, following a specific route of the Greek rite monasteries protected by lay people. From this perspective of the patronal right over the monastery, it is considered that the local nobles Baliță and Dragoș wanted to protect it from the danger of passing to the Latin rite. Thus it is reached the legal hypostasis that the patriarch of Constantinople is the rightful holder of the canonical jurisdiction over a part of the north of the Romanian space.
