Domentijan (
John the Exarch
, which Teodore copied at Domentijan's request, contains many references to Domentijan's humanity and the help he gave him. The manuscript is now in the State Historical Museum in Moscow.
It can be concluded that Domentijan was essentially a hymnologist who wrote biographies of two Serbian saints, but in fact glorified monasticism and Christianity.
Biography of St. Sava
Domentijan's biography of St. Sava, written around 1253 (and an earlier one of St. Simeon Nemanja), was expressly commissioned by the royal court of King
Karyes
, the Athonite seat.
Biography of St. Simeon
