Serbia

As Serbulia ( Serbian Србуље / Srbulje) handwritten, partly also printed liturgical books, psalter or prayer books of the Serbian Orthodox Church of the 15th to 17th centuries are referred to in the Church Slavonic-Old Serbian language. Due to the invasion and occupation of Serbia by the Ottomans and the associated relocation and division of the Serbian cultural area, this tradition gradually died out. The last book appeared at the beginning of the 17th century in 1631. In the relatively independent Montenegro, the Serbian Orthodox Church in Cetinje was able to save other historically and culturally significant treasures from oblivion until after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in Southeast Europe.
