Grlica
''Grlica'' ( Cyrillic: Грлица; English: ''The Turtledove'') was the first serial publication published in Montenegro. It was published from 1835 to 1839 in Cetinje, and was largely edited by Dimitrije Milaković, personal secretary of Prince-Bishop Petar II Petrović-Njegoš. It served as both a calendar, as well as an almanach, and was primarily aimed at the youth. Heavily influenced by Romanticism, ''Grlica'' was similar in content and purpose to Vuk Karadžić's ''Danica'' and ideas of Pan-Slavism and Yugoslavism were common themes. History The first edition of ''Grlica'' came out in 1835, one year after the establishment of the Metropolitanate's printing press in 1834. Prince-Bishop Petar II Petrović-Njegoš ordered the printing of a calendar to commemorate the 340th anniversary of the Crnojević printing house. The publishing of ''Grlica'' coincided with the first serialized publication in the Principality of Serbia, the ''Novine srbske'', as well as Ljudevit Gaj ...

Petar II Petrović-Njegoš
Petar II Petrović-Njegoš ( sr-cyrl, Петар II Петровић-Његош, ; – ), commonly referred to simply as Njegoš (), was a Prince-Bishop (''vladika'') of Montenegro, poet and philosopher whose works are widely considered some of the most important in Montenegrin and Serbian literature. Njegoš was born in the village of Njeguši, near Montenegro's then-capital Cetinje. He was educated at several Serbian monasteries and became the country's spiritual and political leader following the death of his uncle Petar I. After eliminating all initial domestic opposition to his rule, he concentrated on uniting Montenegro's tribes and establishing a centralized state. He introduced regular taxation, formed a personal guard and implemented a series of new laws to replace those composed by his predecessor many years earlier. His taxation policies proved extremely unpopular with the tribes of Montenegro and were the cause of several revolts during his lifetime. Njegoš' ...

Dimitrije Milaković
Dimitrije Milaković ( sr, Димитрије Милаковић; October 6, 1805 – August 27, 1858) was a Serbian philologist and historian. He served as the personal secretary of Prince-Bishop Petar II Petrović-Njegoš from 1831 until the Prince-Bishop's death in 1851. He actively worked on the realization of Njegoš's program of cultural and educational development of the country and was the editor of the first Montenegrin magazine ''Grlica'' (1835–1839). With regards to his literary-linguistic concept, Milaković can be described as moderate supporter of Vuk Karadžić's reforms. However, his insistence on more archaic orthography and morphological elements (archaic superlative and participle) largely pushed him into obscurity. Biography Dimitrije Milaković was born in the village of Jasenica near Mostar on November 6, 1805. As a child, he moved to Mostar with his father, who died when Dimitrije was a small child. Around the age of ten, he moved to Dubrovnik with his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Archimandrite
The title archimandrite ( gr, ἀρχιμανδρίτης, archimandritēs), used in Eastern Christianity, originally referred to a superior abbot (''hegumenos'', gr, ἡγούμενος, present participle of the verb meaning "to lead") whom a bishop appointed to supervise several "ordinary" abbots and monasteries, or as the abbot of some especially great and important monastery. In the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches "archimandrite" is most often used purely as a title of honor (with no connection to any actual monastery) and is bestowed on a hieromonk as a mark of respect or gratitude for service to the Church. This title is only given to those priests who have been tonsured monks, while distinguished non-monastic (typically married) priests would be given the title of archpriest. History The term derives from the Greek: the first element from ''archi-'' meaning "highest" or from ''archon'' "ruler"; and the second root from ''mandra'' mean ...

Dalmatia
Dalmatia (; hr, Dalmacija ; it, Dalmazia; see names in other languages) is one of the four historical regions of Croatia, alongside Croatia proper, Slavonia, and Istria. Dalmatia is a narrow belt of the east shore of the Adriatic Sea, stretching from the island of Rab in the north to the Bay of Kotor in the south. The Dalmatian Hinterland ranges in width from fifty kilometres in the north, to just a few kilometres in the south; it is mostly covered by the rugged Dinaric Alps. Seventy-nine islands (and about 500 islets) run parallel to the coast, the largest (in Dalmatia) being Brač, Pag, and Hvar. The largest city is Split, followed by Zadar and Šibenik.

Later it became a Roman province, and as result a Romance culture emerged, along with the now-extinct Dalmatian language, later largely replaced with related Venetian. With the arrival of Cr ...
