Đurađ IV Crnojević
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Đurađ IV Crnojević (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђурађ Црноjeвић), the son to Ivan Crnojević, was the ruler of the Principality of Zeta between 1490 and 1496, the founder of the first printing house, and identified himself as the "Duke of Zeta". He was well known by his great education, knowledge of astronomy, geometry and other sciences
During his short-term reign he became famous for making efforts to spread the cultural heritage rather than for his political successes. The Turks made him leave Zeta in 1496. Although he was removed from the historical scene, his books remained as a great contribution to the Montenegrin culture. With the help of Hieromonk Makarije he printed five books of big importance to the Montenegrin cultural heritage.
