Prohor Račanin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Draft:Prohor Račanin)

Prohor Račanin[1] (Serbian Cyrillic: Прохор Рачанин; c. 1617 – 1678) was a monk-scribe and member of the School of Rača, a scriptorium in Bajina Bašta that was ransacked by the Turks. Most of the monks eventually moved from Serbia to Szentendre in Hungary under the leadership of Arsenije III Crnojević.[2] Monk Prohor, however, left Rača monastery in Bajna Bašta long before the Great Serbian Migration and settled in Belgrade where he taught at a monastery there until he died in 1678.[3] He left several unpublished manuscripts, now held in the archive of the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church.[4]
