Monk from Kupinovo

Monk from Kupinovo (Serbian: Монах из Купинова/Monah iz Kupinovo; end of the 15th-century) was a Serbian medieval writer.

Life and work

He wrote "Service to the Holy Despot Stefan Branković" as a monk in the Kupinovo monastery in Srem, where the relics were located until after 1486, when Stefan Branković's relics were transferred to Krušedol monastery at the beginning of the 16th century. The service describes the blind character of the unfortunate despot in a poetically powerful way.
