PRINTED LEGACY

The last independent South Slavic medieval dynast Ivan Crnojevic's son Djuradj is described by sources as tall, brave, a fine horseman and lover of books. It is in this last category that his short reign left a lasting legacy. Based on early Venetian models, he had an indigenous printing press created in Montenegro. Its products were of the highest quality, as is evident here from a page of the famous Oktoih.
