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".
