Stefan Ravaničanin
Stefan Ravaničanin, or Stefan of Ravanica, was a Serbian educated monk who influenced many priests whom he tutored. There is evidence that he was also a jeweler and icon painter. He is best known for a chronology he wrote after participating in the transfer of Prince Lazar of Serbia's relics, called Očevici o velikoj seobi Srba after the Austro-Serbian crusade was defeated by the Turks.
Like the monks of Rača monastery, it is not uncommon for anonymous writers to be referred to by their first name and the name of the place with which their life or work is connected.
Stefan is one of the monks of Ravanica monastery who transferred the relics of Prince Lazar of Serbia from Ravanica to Szentendre and after four years from Szentendre to Vrdnik-Ravanica Monastery, in the Fruska Gora mountains, in what is now northern Serbia but then was part of the Habsburg monarchy, or the Holy Roman Empire. He returned to Ravanica in 1718 and there wrote his odyssey in the chronicle Pokazanije kogda prinešen Sv. Lazar veliki knaz serbski iz Serbije v Cesarijsku deržavu i v monastir Vrdnik, posle 1718, in which he described his journey and the abandoned Serbian cities, towns, villages, and monasteries, in the wake of a Turkish invasion.
