Byzantine Monastic Foundation Documents: A Complete Translation of the Surviving Founders' Typika and Testaments (Dumbarton Oaks Studies, 37)

The nature of the typkia, discussed by John Thomas in the introduction, was one of flexible and personal documents, which differed considerably in form, length, and content. Not all of them were foundation documents in the strict sense, since they could be issued at any time in the history of an institution. Some were wills; others were reform decrees and rules; yet others were primarily liturgical in character.
