The Original New Testament

Because there was dissension among the monks on Mount Athos, the Emperor sent Brother Cosmas Tzintziloukis with a mandate to draw up a new set of regulations for the administration of the monastic community. This document was drawn up by Brother Cosmas and confirmed by the imperial cabinet with a note in red, sealed with the Emperor's lead seal and signed by the Protos and thirty-one hegumens and monks.

Items: eunuchs and the beardless; canonical age for ordination into the degrees of the priesthood; possession and exploitation of ships by the monasteries; possession and exploitation of oxen, goats and sheep; exploitation of the forests; transfer of monks from one monastery to another; jurisdiction of the hegumens; retinues of hegumens attending the Synaxis; restrictions on the disposition of the lands of the Protaton and on trade and commerce in Karyes; judicial jurisdiction of the Protos and of the Synaxis in Karyes.
