A translation with comments of the Typikon for the monastery complex of Christ Pantocrator, founded by the Byzantine Emperor John II Comnenus and his wife Irene of Hungary, is presented. The Pantocrator foundation belonged to the tradition of imperial ktitorika foundations. This is indicated by the multifunctional nature of the institution, which had a nursing home, a hospital and a house of contempt. But at the same time, the monastery of Christ Pantocrator was a monument to the personal piety of Emperor John II Comnenus and the solidarity of the ruling family. It should be especially noted that it was built as a family tomb. Its role was played by the burial chapel of Archangel Michael.
Keywords: John II Comnenus, Irene (Piroshka) of Hungary, ktitor typicon, imperial religious foundation, protectorate
