Dimitrije Pepić
Duke Dimitrije Pepić (died 1566), was a 16th-century endower and benefactor from what is today, modern day Kratovo, North Macedonia. Dukes of Kratovo Dimitrije Pepić belonged to the most famous family of mid 16th century Kratovo. The vicinity of the town was very rich in various ores and had famous mines. The exploitation of these mines was leased by the Ottoman authorities and in 16th century we find the Pepić family as the renters of Kratovo mines. The most famous men in family were brothers Nikola, Dimitrije and Grigorije. The wealthy Dimitrije Pepić bore the title of '' knez'' (duke) and was the most important person in the town, lord to its Christian inhabitants with a wide jurisdiction in things not of direct concern to the Ottomans (family, Church etc.). This is best seen from an inscription of an evangeliary written in 1563 „in the days of most honored and Christ-loving master Duke Dimitrije“ (''u danima blagočastivog i hristoljubivog gospodara kneza Dimitrija'' ...

Kratovo, North Macedonia
Kratovo ( mk, Кратово ) is a small town in North Macedonia. It is the seat of Kratovo Municipality. It lies on the western slopes of Mount Osogovo at an altitude of above sea level. Having a mild and pleasant climate, it is located in the crater of an extinct volcano. It is known for its bridges and towers. History Early Middle Ages In the Roman period there was a settlement called ''Tranatura'' located within the modern city municipality. There was a mine nearby and the town was the seat of local authorities. No remains of the settlement has been found, however, remnants of Roman fortification were found on Zdravče kamen hill above the town. Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires ruled the area subsequently. Late Middle Ages In 1282 Kratovo became part of the Kingdom of Serbia. In all probability the wealth of the town came from its mines. Saxon miners and Croatian merchants from Dubrovnik who already had worked in other parts of Macedonia settled here. The town was first ...

Duke
Duke is a male title either of a monarch ruling over a duchy, or of a member of royalty, or nobility. As rulers, dukes are ranked below emperors, kings, grand princes, grand dukes, and sovereign princes. As royalty or nobility, they are ranked below princess nobility and grand dukes. The title comes from French ''duc'', itself from the Latin ''dux'', 'leader', a term used in republican Rome to refer to a military commander without an official rank (particularly one of Germanic or Celtic origin), and later coming to mean the leading military commander of a province. In most countries, the word ''duchess'' is the female equivalent. Following the reforms of the emperor Diocletian (which separated the civilian and military administrations of the Roman provinces), a ''dux'' became the military commander in each province. The title ''dux'', Hellenised to ''doux'', survived in the Eastern Roman Empire where it continued in several contexts, signifying a rank equivalent to a captai ...

Evangeliary
The Evangeliary or Book of the Gospels is a liturgical book containing only those portions of the four gospels which are read during Mass or in other public offices of the Church. The corresponding terms in Latin are and . The Evangeliary developed from marginal notes in manuscripts of the Gospels and from lists of gospel readings (''capitularia evangeliorum''). Generally included at the beginning or end of the book containing the whole gospels, these lists indicated the days on which the various extracts or pericopes were to be read. They developed into books in which they were accompanied by the texts to which they referred, with the passages arranged in accordance with the liturgical year rather than in their order within the gospels themselves, and omitting passages not used in the liturgy.Palazzo,Eric, ''A History of Liturgical Books from the Beginning to the Thirteenth Century'', 1998, Liturgical Press, , 9780814661673, pp. 86–91google books/ref> Terminology The name does ...
