Biography

Judging from his secular name, he was not a monk but a layman. He was most probably from

Lesnovo for at least twelve years.[2]

Together with his pupils, Stanislav of Lesnovo edited and transcribed a Prologue (1330) which comprises also a short hagiography of Saint Gabriel of Lesnovo (today in Belgrade), Oliver's Menologion (Oliverov minej, 1342) with the Service of St. Gabriel of Lesnovo, for which he also painted illustrations by hand (this book, as several others were lost in 1915 during the retreat of the Serbian army). He is also ascribed as the author of two more menologions of which one is lost and the other is kept in

Ovče Polje was under the rule of the great Jovan Oliver, in the district of Zletovo, in the place called Lesnovo (...)".[5]

According to some authors, Stanislav continued his work in Marko's Monastery where a monk of the same name was mentioned in 1353.[3]

In many Bulgarian sources Stanislav is referred as Bulgarian.[6] He is also regarded one of the most important writers of 14th-century Macedonia.[7][8]
