| Summary: | Serbian manuscripts played a major role in the development of South Slavic
Service Menaion based on the Typikon of Jerusalem, which had been introduced
in Byzantium in the second half of the 13th century. The oldest Church
Slavic Menaia of the Jerusalem type appeared on Mount Athos in the second or
third decade of the 14th century. They are all of Serbian origin. In the
1330’s and 1340’s, the Menaion reached Macedonian lands, which were part of
the Kingdom of Serbia. It spread further across Bulgarian lands by the
mid-14th c., and was to become the only type of hymnographic book in South
Slavic lands by the end of the same century. |
