Vukan's Gospel

Vukan's Gospel is a 13th-century illuminated manuscript, written in Serbian recension of Church Slavonic language and the Cyrillic script. It is one of the oldest preserved Serbian medieval books, with more than 189 pages.
It was produced in Ras, which was the capital of the Grand Principality of Serbia, by the monk Simeon for the grand prince Vukan, the son of grand prince Stefan Nemanja. It is the oldest aprakos written in medieval Serbia.
Miniatures in Vukan's Gospel from the beginning of the 13th century, are representative of the regional Raška miniature style. They were executed in the spirit of the late Komnenian art, characterized by graphic interpretations. The old monk Symeon left a long note saying that the manuscript had been made at the city of Ras, for the grand prince Vukan Nemanjić. It is quite possible that Simeon was the author of the miniatures.
