Trojan Gundulić
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trojan Gundulić also Troiano Gondola, a merchant from Dubrovnik, is remembered for his participation in the printing of the first book in Belgrade, The Four Gospels ("Četvorojevadjelje") in Serbian language. Gundulić started as a barber in his hometown and remained in this trade after his arrival to Belgrade. He later went into the trade business, which enabled him to finance the printing of books. A large printing shop was established in Gundulić's house. Gundulić continued the work on "Cetvorojevadjelje" started by Radiša Dmitrović, who died early. In his turn, Gundulić passed the work to Hieromonk Mardarije of Mrksina Crkva Monastery. After the death of Gundulić 121 printed books were found in his house, including 59 copies of the Gospels.
