Miroslav’s Gospel is the oldest medieval book, stayed behind turbulent Serbian medieval history. It was copied by Gligory the Pupil for Serbian nobleman Miroslav (1171-1197). It unites Eastern way of writing with Western way of ornamenting. The marvelous artist painted tiny ornaments using red, green, yellow, brown and golden color.
You can see the Gospel in the National Museum in Belgrade. As one of the most precious exhibits, it is safeguarded in a special room, and under special conditions.
Poor Gligory, a wonderful artist, discovered us, at the end of the manuscript, that his master Miroslav didn’t like him and his work.
