Domentijan

The Athonite scribe Teodore's account of his troubles, recorded on the pages of the Hexameron (Šestodnev) of John the Exarch, which Teodore copied at Domentijan's request, contains many references to Domentijan's humanity and the help he gave him.

It can be concluded that Domentijan was essentially a hymnologist who wrote biographies of two Serbian saints, but in fact glorified monasticism and Christianity.

Domentijan's style is characterized by fluent narration, panegyric diction, an abundance of theological and mystical elements with an emphasis on a spiritual and clearly monastic point of view.

Domentijan wrote it in the kellion (cell) built by Sava in Karyes, the Athonite seat.

For his biography of St. Simeon, Domentijan used material from the works of earlier authors, unintentionally preserving some of them to the present day.
