Vuković printing house is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Vuković printing house rather than just read about it. In short: The Vuković printing house (Serbian: Вуковићева штампарија) was 16th century printing house established in Venice by Božidar Vuković, and later managed by his son Vićenco Vuković. In the first period, when printing was organized by Božidar Vuković, the editors and printers were hieromonk Pahomije of Rijeka (1519–21) and hierodeacon Mojsije of Dečani (1536–40).

Reference excerpt

The Vuković printing house (Serbian: Вуковићева штампарија) was 16th century printing house established in Venice by Božidar Vuković, and later managed by his son Vićenco Vuković. In the first period, when printing was organized by Božidar Vuković, the editors and printers were hieromonk Pahomije of Rijeka (1519–21) and hierodeacon Mojsije of Dečani (1536–40). In 1540, Božidar's son Vićenco Vuković inherited the printing house, and since 1546 reprinted some of his father's books. In 1561, he started printing new publications, some in cooperation with Stefan Marinović, and later with Jakov of Kamena Reka. The books printed in Vuković printing house were srbulje, early-printed liturgical books in Serbo-Slavonic (Serbian recension of Church Slavonic). Vuković printing house printed the largest number of such editions, and was the first printing house that printed srbulje on parchment. The books printed in Vuković printing house were distributed by Ragusan and other traders over the territory of Balkans under the Ottoman control, i.e. Belgrade, Nicopolis, Vidin etc. Monastery Mileševa was one of the main centers for their distribution. They were richly decorated, very popular and had significant influence on printers of books on Russian, Greek and Romanian language.

History In period 1519—1560 this printing house was owned by Božidar Vuković, who engaged printers and organized printing in it. After his death in 1560 it was inherited by Božidar's son Vićenco who continued to organize printing of the books in it.

Under Božidar Vuković During Božidar's life this printing house was operational in two periods, in 1519/1520—1521 and in 1536—1540 and printed some of the first srbulje (Cyrillic books on Serboslavonic language, Serbian recension of Church Slavonic). In the first period 1519/1520—1521 three books were printed (Psalter, Liturgijar and Molitvenik or Zbornik). The editing and printing was done by Hieromonk Pahomije. In second period 1536—1540 two books were printed (2nd edition of Molitvenik or Zbornik and praznični Minej or Sabornik). The most luxurious and lengthiest edition was Praznični Minej. In this second period the editing and printing was done by hierodeacon Mojsije of Dečani, who was by birth from Budimlja. The books printed in Vuković printing house under Božidar Vuković had rich decorations made by woodcut. Mileševa (a Serbian Orthodox monastery located near Prijepolje, in southwest Serbia) was center for distribution of books printed in Vuković printing house.

Under Vićenco Vuković In 1540, Bozidar's son Vićenco Vuković inherited the printing business. His father's books were so popular that between 1546 and 1561 Vićenco had only published reprints of his fathers books, such as Oktoih Petoglasnik, and successfully sold them. In 1561 Vićenco engaged Stefan Marinović to operate the printing press and first book he printed was Posni Triod. In 1566 Jakov of Kamena Reka printed the Book of hours (Serbian: Часослов) of 710 pages. Later Vićenco's plans to expand printing by initiating a wider production and distribution of Serbian Cyrillic books in Rome, with the help of cardinal Guglielmo Sirleto, did not came into fruition.

Legacy

Books printed in this printing house significantly influenced, directly or indirectly, to Russian, Greek and particularly Romanian language printed books because some of Božidars woodcuts were copied by printers who printed books on these languages.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vuković printing house

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vuković printing house claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vuković printing house before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vuković printing house ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vuković printing house

In research: Vuković printing house appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vuković printing house in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vuković printing house is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1510s establishments in the Republic of Venice, 1519 establishments in Europe, 16th century in Serbia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vuković printing house outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
