Nikola Stanjević
Nikola Stanjević (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Стањевић, fl. 1355–1366) was a Serbian magnate who served Emperor Stefan Dušan (r. 1331–55) as veliki vojvoda (general), and who was still alive during the rule of Emperor Uroš V (r. 1355–71), when in 1366 the Emperor confirmed the metochion of his endowment, the Konče Church, dedicated to St. Stephen, near Radovište, to the Hilandar monastery. He held a province in northern Macedonia, around Skopje. He is an ancestor of Nikola Pavlović "Gefalija" and the Stanjević brotherhood in Montenegro.[1]
Gospel
Nikola had a gospel book written and illustrated by monk Teoktist, which he donated to the Hilandar monastery of Mount Athos.[2] The book is now called the "Tetravangelion of Nikola Stanjević", found in London at the British Museum, collection No. 154.
