Atanasije (scribe)
Atanasije and Atanasije the Serb ( sr-cyr, Атанасије; 1200–1265), a disciple of Saint Sava, was a Serbian monk-scribe who lived and worked in Serbia in the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, it was common for monk-scribes not to speak or write about themselves, always cognizant of the fact that their station in life was modest, focussing on the activities of their lords. It is not surprising that very little is known about him. His hymn to Saint Sava, however, has been preserved in Domentijan's biography of Saint Sava in the part describing the return of Saint Sava's relics from Trnovo, Bulgaria, to the Mileševa monastery in Raška. On that occasion, according to Domentijan, the monk-scribe Atanasije wrote and read the "Eulogy to Saint Sava".

13th-century Eastern Orthodox Christians
The 13th century was the century which lasted from January 1, 1201 (represented by the Roman numerals MCCI) through December 31, 1300 (MCCC) in accordance with the Julian calendar. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, which stretched from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. The conquests of Hulagu Khan and other Mongol invasions changed the course of the Muslim world, most notably the Siege of Baghdad (1258) and the destruction of the House of Wisdom. Other Muslim powers such as the Mali Empire and Delhi Sultanate conquered large parts of West Africa and the Indian subcontinent, while Buddhism witnessed a decline through the conquest led by Bakhtiyar Khilji. The earliest Islamic states in Southeast Asia formed during this century, most notably Samudera Pasai. The Kingdoms of Sukhothai and Hanthawaddy would emerge and go on to dominate their surrounding territories. Europe entered the apex of the High Middle Ages, characterized by rapid legal, cultural, and religious evol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From The Kingdom Of Serbia (medieval)
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marko Pećki
Marko Pećki (1360 in Ljevoši, near Peć in Kosovo, Serbia – after 1411 in Ljevoši, Kosovo, Serbia) was a Serbian medieval writer and poet who lived at the time of Prince Lazar of Serbia and Stefan Lazarević. He is best known for the "Life of the Serbian Patriarch Ephraim" and other biographies. Biography Bishop Mark of Peć (hence Marko Pećki) belongs to a prominent place in the hesychast monastic hagiography from the time of Prince Lazar of Serbia and the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. He left his autobiographical data in his Letter to commemorate Gerasim and Euphemia (Jefimija). Marko was born in 1360 in a village near Peć in Serbian Kosovo, as the youngest of four sons, born into a priestly family.

His father's secular name was probably George because he chose Gerasim as his new name for his new monastic way of life, and as Hieromonk Gerasim, he went on to build the church of St. George, ...

Anonymous Athonite
Anonymous Athonite (also known in Serbia as Nepoznati Svetogorac; late 14th to mid-15th century) was Isaija the Monk's biographer and one of the many unidentified authors of Medieval works. It is assumed that he wrote "The Life of the Elder Isaiah" (Isaija) in the Russian monastery of St. Panteleimon Monastery on the Holy Mountain (Mount Athos), shortly after the death of Isaiah. He was known to be well acquainted with various moments of the youth and monastic life of Isaiah, being his contemporary and perhaps his colleague or disciple as well. The text is derived from a transcript dating 15th century, located at Hilandar Monastery. Another work attributed to him was the translation of the Books of Kings, in 1415.

Biography Next to nothing is known about his life. In all probability he was a priest or, even more likely, a monk. Dimitar was active in mid-15th century at the time when his town, Kratovo, was in the hands of Ottomans for more than half a century. However, rich ore in the vicinity of the town and the wealth that stemmed from this source made it an important center for various arts, not least literature. In 1466 the Archbishop of Ohrid, Dorotheus, was searching for a learned man to translate the Syntagma of Matthew Blastares from Greek into Serbian because his cathedral seat did not have that book in the language that would be understood by natives. When he visited Kratovo, he met Dimitar and ap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
