1454 liturgical book
The Varaždin Apostol (
Serbian Cyrillic: Вараждински апостол,
Croatian: Varaždinski apostol) is a hand-written Orthodox
liturgical book written in 1454.
[1] It is named after the northern
Croatian city of
Varaždin. The book represents the oldest preserved text in
Cyrillic from the territory of today's Croatia.
[1] It contains the
Acts of the Apostles and the
New Testament epistles, and is kept today in the
Museum of Serbian Orthodox Church in
Belgrade,
Serbia.
[1] The Varaždin Apostol was made by three transcribers of Countess
Kantakuzina Katarina Branković, daughter of the Serbian despot
Đurađ Branković and his wife
Irene Kantakouzene, and the wife of
Ulrich II, Count of Celje.
[1] The text is written in the
Resava orthography (
Manasija monastery) with elements of the
Raška orthography and the
Mount Athos redaction, too.
[2] The language is the Serbian dialect of
Old Church Slavonic.
[3] On the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the Apostol, the
Serbian Orthodox Church issued a limited edition of 300 copies.
[2] As a gift from the
Metropolitanate of Zagreb and Ljubljana, copies went to, among others,
Serbian Patriarch Pavle, Croatian president
Stjepan Mesić, the
Lepavina Monastery, and the
Celje city archive.
