Description
The Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences (Српска краљевска академија, СКА; Srpska kraljevska akademija, SKA) was the successor to the Serbian Learned Society (Српско учено друштво, СУД; Srpsko učeno društvo, SUD) with which it merged in 1892 and accepted its members as its own either regular or honorary members, its tasks and its place in scientific and cultural life. The same had occurred several decades earlier when the Serbian Learned Society on 29 July 1864 took over the place and functions of the Society of Serbian Literature (Друштво српске словесности, ДСС; Društvo srpske slovesnosti, DSS), the first learned society in the Principality of Serbia, founded on 7 November 1841. The Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences was led by members, such as Jovan Cvijić. Since the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts was founded by law (as the Serbian Royal Academy) of 1 November 1886, it has been the highest academic institution in Serbia.

| Paraenesis of Ephrem the Syrian | Artifact | This is one of the oldest Serbian copies of the Paraenesis (" exhortation, advice"). Based on one of the records, it is known that the manuscript was written in 1337 by order of the first abbot of the Monastery of Dečani. The parchment manuscript is decorated with two headpieces and a large number of initials. In 1860 Serafim Ristić, an archimandrite from the Monastery of Dečani, gave it to the Society of Serbian Literature (today's Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts), in whose archives it is still kept under no. 60. Four folios are preserved in the National Library of Russia in Saint Petersburg (Гильф. 77). |
| The Kumanica Gospel (the Tetraevangelion from Kumanica) | Artifact | The Kumanica Gospel is a manuscript from the 16th century, in which four miniatures with portraits of the Evangelists, dated to the 14th century, have been inserted. These author's portraits of the Evangelists are considered to be the most beautiful examples of the Early Palaiologan style in the Serbian medieval manuscript decoration. The miniatures are dated to the first half of the 14th century. The Kumanica Gospel are kept in the Archive of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade (no. 69). |
