Miroslav's Gospel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miroslav's Gospel (Serbian: Мирослављево Јевађеље or Miroslavljevo Jevanđelje) is a 362-page liturgic book hand written on parchment, with very rich ornamentation. It was transcribed in Kotor (in today's Montenegro) between 1186 and 1190 from an earlier Macedonian (i.e. Serbian) text. "Miroslav's Gospel" was ordered by Serbian prince Miroslav from Hum, today east Herzegovina (in Republika Srpska). The majority was transcribed by the writer Varsameleon from Zeta, and the last few pages by the writer Gligorije from Raška. It is one of the oldest surviving documents written in the Serbian language, along with the Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja.
