Here is a translation with commentary of the Typikon (which is also the Testament) for the religious foundation founded by the Byzantine official Michael Attaliates. Based on the traditions of the protectorate, which underlay the law of patronage, as well as the conditionally institutional self-government, the Typicon of Michael Attaliat is an extremely valuable source. It records the characteristic features and principles of management of traditional private religious institutions of the second half of the 11th century.

Keywords: Michael Attaleiates, ktitorian typikon, private religious foundation, household, protectorate
