Gavrilo Trojičanin

Gavrilo Trojičanin (c. 1600-after 1651) is a Serbian historiographer, a gifted scribe and the monk of the monastery of Svete Troice (Holy Trinity) at Vrhobreznica, near Pljevlja.

He had an enviable education and was interested in almost every area of human knowledge and endeavor that was nurtured in the Middle Ages.

In monasteries and libraries, he collected comparisons of old manuscripts, copied ritual books, and decorated them with illuminations.

His Cyrillic manuscript is extensive and ten works (several thousand pages in length) have been preserved in libraries.

[2] He also collaborated with artists of his time, namely Andrija Raičević and Jovan Kyr Kozma, during their stay in 1643 at the Monastery of the Holy Trinity of Pljevlja[2] [3] and hand-copied 6th-century traveler Cosmas Indicopleustes's Christian Topography.
