Resavska škola

Serbia

Resava School (/ Resavska škola), was founded in 1407 by Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević. Based on his endowment, the Manasija Monastery was called Bašta znanja (Serbian Cyrillic) or the "bastion of knowledge" for learning, writing, translating, transcribing, drawing, painting, and illuminating manuscripts in the Serbian Despotate. One of the main supporters of the Resava School was Constantine the Philosopher (/ Konstantin Filozof), also known as Constantine of Kostenets. The canon of this school was followed in monasteries of Hilandar, Patriarchate of Peć, Visoki Dečani and Ljubostinja, and its influences were present in Russia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Romania. Monastery of Manasija, also called Resava, had a library of more than 20,000 books.
