Nikola Stanjević

Nikola Stanjević (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Стањевић, fl. 1355–1366) was a magnate who served Emperor Stefan Dušan (r. 1331–55) as veliki vojvoda (general), and who was still alive during the rule of Emperor Uroš V (r. 1355–71), when in 1366 the Emperor confirmed the metochion of his endowment, the Konče Church, dedicated to St. Stephen, near Radovište, to the Hilandar monastery. He held a province in northern Macedonia, around Skopje. He is an ancestor of Nikola Pavlović "Gefalija" and the Stanjević brotherhood in Montenegro.[1] He is the founder of the Stanjevići Monastery on the southern slopes of Mount Lovćen, overlooking Budva.

Gospel

Nikola had a gospel book written and illustrated by monk Feoktist, which he donated to the Hilandar monastery of Mount Athos.[2] The book is now called the "Tetravangelion of Nikola Stanjević", found in London at the British Museum, collection No. 154.
