Simeon Račanin

[1] One of Simeon's works, dated to 1676, is held at the National Museum (Prague).

[2] He was one of an elite group of educated and anonymous monks (addressed only by their monastic name) of the Monastery of Rača in Bajina Bašta, near the Drina River, to make his mark in the eighteenth-century Serbian literature.

All the members of the School of Rača spoke and wrote little about their past; giving precedent to the work at hand.

He learned Greek, Latin, Old Church Slavonic and most of the Slavic dialects and languages, including Russian and Polish.

[3] The Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church[4] is in possession of a small number of ornately decorated manuscripts by unknown scribes, though a few have been identified, namely Simeon Račanin.
