Vladislav the Grammarian
Vladislav the Grammarian (
theologian active in medieval Bulgaria and Serbia, regarded as part of both the Bulgarian and Serbian[4][5]
literary corpus. His collections of manuscripts constitute a compendium of translations and original Bulgarian and Serbian texts produced between the 13th and 15th centuries.
His texts have been ordered chronologically, starting with the 1465 Collection followed by the Zagreb Collection (1469), the Adrianti Collection (1473), the Rila Panegyric (1479) and two other collections of texts compiled in the 1470s and 1480s respectively.[6]
Personal life
Vladislav was born ca. 1420 in the village of
Rila monastery as well; there, he wrote On St. John's Relics and other works on Bulgarian patron Saint John of Rila.[8]
Klaus Trot notes that his language bears features of Serbian speech from the vicinity of Novo Brdo.[9] His language, although reflecting Serbian phonetic features, also reflects Bulgarian morphological and syntactic features.[10]
