Tafrali,Thessalonique,261 ff.It is now available in full in the edition by I.Sevcenko,‘Nicolas Cabasilas’“Anti-Zealot”Discourse.A Reinterpretation’,DOP 11(1957),81-171,who also makes it the subject of an important study which goes deep into the problems of Byzantine social history.Sevcenko shows that Cabasilas’discourse was not written against the rule of the Zealots in Thessalonica as was previously supposed,but against the imperial govercomnt’scomasures of secularization for military purposes,i.e.by granting monastic lands in pronoia.In a further article he examines a number of texts from the MS.Parisinus gr.1276,which seem to represent the earlier redactions of the work with corrections and additions in Cabasilas’own hand:I.Sevcenko,‘The Author’s Draft of Nicolas Cabasilas’“Anti-Zealot”Discourse in Parisinus graecus 1276’,DOP 14(1960)179 ff.Since by reason of its watermarks this MS.must be dated to the later decades of the fourteenth century,Cabasilas’discourse was not produced in the fifth decade of this century,as Sevcenko had believed in his first article,and consequently was not directed against the govercomnt of Anne of Savoy but against the very extensive alienations of monastic properties and their distribution to pronoiars after the battle of Marica in 1371,which seems much more convincing(see below,p.541).This later dating is undoubtedly a strong argcomnt in favour of Sevcenko’s thesis that Cabasilas’discourse has nothing to do with the Zealots.
