1392, Anonymous

The original document is kept in Istanbul, and a transcribed version was published in 1890. The image here is from the transcribed version.

Let's go back to the battle. When both sides were tired and the battle was stopped, i.e. that of the Serbs and the enemies, and they were lying in the field of Kosovo, the above-mentioned Amurat accepted the sword in his heart and with a heavy spirit let go. But the all-powerful one, touched by the love of God, the young martyr, Prince Lazarus, with one movement of the sword was cut down, and accepted an eternal end. His body full of honor was taken by the Christians of the nearby city called Pristina, and it was sent to the Church of God of the Redemption of Christ and laid there with honors.

In fact, the Serbian researcher Ruvarac, when he writes about the above (full) text, does not mention the date 1391, nor Danilo III. The date and authorship have been determined later, and the writing is thought to be from late 1392. Original document: Библиотека Српске патрияршије, 51. (Translated from Serbian: Yll Rugova.)
