Grigorije Račanin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Draft:Grigorije Račanin)

Grigorije Račanin (Serbian: Григорије Рачанин; Bajina Bašta, Serbia, after 1668 - Szentendre, Habsburg monarchy, after 1739) was a Serbian monk and writer. He is best remembered for his travelogue on rafting in the Balkans in 1739.[1] He was a contemporary of Gavrilo Stefanović Venclović,[2] also a member of the Rača monastery and its literary School of Rača.

A copy of his major work -- Dravom i Dunavom od Osijeka do Krajove u Rumuniji—is archived in the Narodna biblioteka Srbije (National Library of Serbia) in Belgrade.[citation needed] The original manuscript is now lost, though a copy [3] testifies to the existence of a travelogue manuscript written by him after taking a trip along the "Drava and Danube from Osijek to Krajova in Romania" and back in 1739 as the title suggests.[4]

Monk Grigorije Račanin lived and worked in the scriptorium of the old Rača monastery in Bajina Bašta before settling in Szentendre.
