Abstract. Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the composition of the lands of the large patrimony of the Joseph-Volokolamsk Monastery at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries, the distribution of subordinate territories by monastic prikazes, and the clarification of their names. Despite the fact that the expansion and methods of acquiring monastery lands have been studied in detail for the 16th century, a complete list of monastic villages at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries was not compiled, and the issue of their distribution by prikazes – administrative-territorial units of patrimony management – was only touched upon.
Methods and materials. The method of diachronic analysis of money and grain economic books of the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries has shown all the villages mentioned in them. The data obtained were compared with the land acts of the Compilation Book and systematized.
Analysis. The resolutions of the Zemsky Sobors of 1580 and 1584 prohibited land contributions to monasteries; however, the cloister continued to receive new possessions. The prikazes, headed by the village elders, ruled the villages assigned to them.
Results. A list of the villages of the Joseph-Volokolamsk Monastery at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries, distributed by 6 prikazes and 11 counties, was compiled. There were 49 villages identified. One of them was not mentioned in the literature before. The general tendencies towards impoverishment and desolation of lands are noted, which were typical for the central part of the Russian state during the period of Smuta.
Key words: end of the 16th century, beginning of the 17th century, Time of Troubles, Joseph-Volokolamsk Monastery, economic books, patrimony, monastic management system, land ownership.
