Božidar Goraždanin

In 1493, Đurađ Crnojević, the ruler of the Principality of Zeta (in present-day Montenegro), sent Hieromonk Makarije to Venice to buy a press and learn the art of printing.

[7] In 1518, Božidar Ljubavić resided at the Mileševa Monastery,[8] the see of a Serbian Orthodox diocese which had been part of the Kingdom of Bosnia since 1373.

[9] Mileševa and other parts of its diocese, including the town of Goražde,[5] were located in the region of Herzegovina,[10] which was gradually conquered by the Ottomans between 1465 and 1481.

The Ljubavić brothers procured a press and began printing a hieratikon (priest's service book), copies of which had been completed by 1 July 1519 either in Venice or at the Church of Saint George near Goražde.

After Đurađ Ljubavić died in Venice on 2 March 1519, it is unclear whether his brother transported the press to Goražde before or after finishing the work on the hieratikon.
