Abstract
Description
Beograd
Slide 55 is misidentified in the Photographer's notes. Here the description is corrected. The nun Jefimija (formerly Jelena, (c. 1349 - c. 1405), the widow of Despot Uglješa Mrnjavćević), is the first female Serbian writer. She embroidered the text with gold and silver thread on a red silk shrowd (67 x 49 cm.) in Ljubostinja monastery, which was used to cover St. Lazar's reliquary. Presently, it is in the Serbian Orthodox Church Museum.
This item comes from a region where place names vary historically and politically. We have used the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN) as a source for controlled place names. (http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/)
