  • Đurađ Crnojević. The origins of printing in Serbia are tied to the press established at Obod, near Cetinje, Crnagora, in 1493 by Đurađ Crnojević, the eldest son Ivan Crnojević, the ruler of Zeta. He sent a monk named Makarije to Venice to purchase a printing press and learn the trade of printing. In this way Serbia acquired a press thirty seven years after the invention of movable type at a time when the Ottomans were at their doorstep. This press ceased to function when Zeta fell under Turkish yoke.
  • Božidar Vuković and later his son, Vicentije (Vincenzo) Vuković, ran his father's print shop in Venice, from 1519 until 1561. The best known presses were established in 1519 in Goražde; at the Monastery of Rujno in the village of Bioska, near Užice; at Gračanica monastery in Kosovo; and at Mileševa monastery, near Prijepolje. In 1597 the Vuković press passed into the hands of Giorgio Rampazetto, who printed two important books—the Collection of Trvelers and the earliest Serbian primer.
  • Radiša Dimitrović founded a press in 1552 in Belgrade which was continued after his death by Trojan Gundulić; it was here that the monk Mardarije printed his edition of the Gospels. At the two monasteries—Mrkša Crkva in 1562 and Skadar in 1563—presses were set up by Serbian monks. The resulting Mardarije's Belgrade Gospel can be found in two copies in the Herzegovinian monastery of Žitomislić. In the same cloister can be found traces of activity on the part of Serbian printers in Romania. These printers had been brought to Romania at the beginning of the 17th century, at the behest of Wallachian Voivode Matei Basarab.
  • Andrija Paltašić was a Serb Catholic Bokelj who became famous as a printer in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
  • Jerolim Zagurović, a native of Kotor, was active as a printer in Venice in the 1670s.

Palandech, founder of the major Serbian publishing house in the U.S.; Palandech Press produced Serbian-language books and newspapers, such as Balkanski svijet for the Serbian immigrant community. Emigrated to the U.S. in 1887, when only thirteen years of age, Palandech became a wealthy publisher in Chicago at the height of the Great Depression.
  • Drenka Willen, who had been working with Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc. since the early 1960s and had run her own imprint there since 1981, is senior editor at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. She edits the likes of Nobel Prize winners: Günter Grass; Octavio Paz; Wisława Szymborska; and José Saramago.
  • William Jovanovich started with Harcourt, Brace & Company in 1947 as a textbook salesman. In 1960, William Jovanovich, who had become president of the company in 1954, took the company public and merged Harcourt, Brace & Company with World Book Company to create Harcourt Brace & World, Inc. Ten years later (1970), the company became Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc. with Jovanovich as chairman. Jovanovich was born on the sixth of February 1920, in Louisville, Colorado to a Montenegrin Serb father and Polish mother. Under his leadership the company incorporated such innovations as the use of colorful illustrations and detailed teachers’ guides and grew to be one of the largest textbook publishers in the world. He was a prolific writer as well, Serbdom (1998), A Slow Suicide (1991), The Money Trail (1990), Madmen Must (1978), In At or Instruction (1969), Stations of Our Life (1969), Now, Barabas (1964), The World's Last Night (1990).

Titular rulers of the Serbian Despotate:

  • Despot Vuk Grgurević Branković (1471-1485)
  • Despot Đorđe Branković (1486-1496) ruled 1486 to 1492.
  • Despot Jovan Branković (1496-1502) ruled from 1492 to 1502.
  • Jelena Jakšić noble family (1502-1504) ruled from December 1502 to 1503
  • Ivaniš Berislavić (1504-1514) ruled from 1503 to January 1514.
  • Stefan Berislavić (1514-1527), son of Ivaniš, ruled from January 1514 to 1536.
  • Radič Božić (1521-1527). Determined to invade Hungary against Louis II of Hungary Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and Grand Vizier Piri Mehmed Pasha had first to siege the Balkan fortresses, and laid siege to Belgrade, defended by Radič Božić and his Serbian and Hungarian fighters. When reinforcements arrived from the fall of Šabac, mining breached the walls and Belgrade fell by storm. However, the invasion of Hungary was delayed five years until the advance advance through Mohács.
  • Pavle Bakić (1527-1537). At the beginning of the 16th century in his futile attempts to restore the Serbian polity, despot Pavle Bakić collaborated with Jovan Nenad and Radoslav Čelnik while trying to come to some kind of compromise with the Hungarian court. Arriving from Serbia in 1525 with a large contingent of his compatriots, Bakić had fought with the Hungarians at Mohács. It was the time when the John Zapolya and Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor were vying for Central Europe, while being threatened at teh same time by the Ottoman Empire.
  • Jovan Nenad also known as the Black One triumphed over the forces of the Hungarian magnates sent into the field against him by John Zapolya, only to be slain in an ambush. Jovan Nenad's army led by Radoslav Čelnik left for Syrmia, and Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor found a new ally in Pavle Bakić. Jovan Nenad, however, succeeded in establishing a Serbian State in Bačka from 1526 to 1527, however short-lived.
  • Radoslav Čelnik led the remains of Jovan Nenad's army to Ottoman Syrmia, where he ruled until 1530 as a vassal.
  • Jovan Monasterlija participated in the Siege of Belgrade (1688) and the Siege of Belgrade (1690), both times against the Turks. After the Turkish defeat at the walls of Vienna in September 1688, the Austrians and the Serbs liberated Belgrade. Two years later, the Turks recaptured it, but these conflicts left Belgrade destroyed and its population sparse, killed, persecuted and robbed because of its cooperation with Austrians.
  • Koća Andjelković with Koča's frontier freedom fighters defeated the Turks in many skirmishes in the 1780s. The war of 1788–1791 is known to Serbian historians as "Koča' War", after Koča Andjelković, the military leader of the Serbian bands which joined in the insurrection against the Turks in Šumadija. Koča's men, including Karađorđe, joined the Habsburg Free Corps (Freicorps) under the command of General Ernst Gideon von Laudon who led the Siege of Belgrade (1789). After signing the Treaty of Sistova in 1791, the Austrians abandoned the Serbs when their differences with the Turks were settled. Belgrade was returned to the Turks for minor territorial concessions to the Austrians in northern Bosnia. The Janissary, initially forbidden to enter Belgrade, killed Moustapha-pasha, the governor of belgrade, in 1801, entered the city, and establishing their own rule independent of the Sultan of Turkey. This period of total chaos resulted in the Slaughter of the Knezes (dukes) which gave rise to the first Serbian insurrection in 1804. See: Modern Royalty.
