Early life

[edit]

Tsamblak's writings were among the earliest included in printed books; for instance, Božidar Vuković featured his Office for Stefan of Dechani in the Festive Menaion published in Venice between 1536 and 1538. Additionally, Metropolitan Varlaam translated his work on John the New of Suceava into Romanian, which was published in Iași in 1643 as part of the Tarzhestvenik. The vitae authored by Gregory Tsamblak significantly influenced iconography in both Romania and Serbia.[1]
