Serbian psalter
The Serbian Psalter (also Codex Monacensis Slavicus 4 ) is the main work of medieval illumination in Serbia . Created at the end of the 14th century for Stefan Lazarević , its 148 often full-page miniatures make it a unique testimony to Serbian orthodoxy . Until 1688 in the Pribina Glava monastery in the Fruška Gora , it came into the possession of Wolfgang Heinrich von Gemell zu Flischbach in the course of the Turkish wars , who gave the code to the Gotteszell monastery in the Bavarian Forest in 1689 , from where it was transferred to the Sankt Emmeram monastery in Regensburg in 1782 . Today it is in the Bavarian State Library in Munich under the signature Cod.slav. 4th
