Description

Bratko's Menaion, a collection of liturgical hymn compositions for the entire church year, is a convolute, created during the second quarter of the 13th century (between 1234 and 1243) and the first half of the 14th century. The manuscript is named after the scribe of the first part of the book dated to the 13th century - presbyter Bratko. More than ten scribal hands were recognised in the copy, and the names of two more copyists - Nikola and Radoslav - were recorded. The illumination of the manuscript consists of several intertwined headpieces and small initials. The manuscript is kept in the National Library of Serbia in Belgrade (Narodna biblioteka Srbije Rs 647). It was added to the old collection of manuscripts of the previous National Library in Belgrade (No. 212), where it arrived as a gift from Southern Serbia (from Banjane, today in the Republic of North Macedonia).
