Description
Vukan's Gospel is a full aprakos, written on parchment probably between 1200-1202.
The manuscript was copied by several scribes, and major part of the codex was written by the hand of the elder Simeon. The decoration of the codex consists of a large number of initials, several headpieces and two miniatures.
Vukan's Gospel was written in Ras, but it was kept for a long time in the Karyes cell of Saint Sava. Bishop Porphyrius Uspensky brought it to Russia in the 19th century, where it is still today.
The Gospel is kept in the National Library of Russia in Saint-Petersburg (Fn I 82), while one leaf is kept in the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
