antonije bagaš

anthony bagaš -lrb- ; fl .
1366 -- 1385 -rrb- was a serbian nobleman from kastoria who retreated to mount athos in between 1356 and 1366 , where he later bought and restored the ruined athonite monastery of saint paul -lrb- agiou pavlou -rrb- with the help of nikola-gerasim radonja -lrb- the son of `` sebastokrator '' branko mladenović -rrb- in the 1380s , becoming its abbott - taking the monastic name arsenios -lrb- arsenije -rrb- .
the two were successful in receiving donations from both the byzantines and serbs , and refurbishing the monastery with revenue from serbian silver and gold mines , making it one of the major serbian monasteries .
he translated hagiographical works into serbian .
he had a brother , nikola , who in 1385 donated the monastery of mesonesiotissa near edessa , together with villages , churches and other property to the saint paul monastery of arsenije .
some scholars believe that the bagaš family was originally from vranje in serbia while some other scholars believe that historical sources do not confirm it .
