The see of the Patriarchate was revived in its former location – in the monastery Peć. Restoration of the structures of the church organization was accompanied by reparation of the old (abandoned or neglected) churches and monasteries, as well as by building ofnew objects. A number of new churches and monasteries arouse in the regions of the Balkans which were colonized by Serbs in- tensively and systematically. The new churches required liturgical books necessary for non-hindered performance of the rite. The result was that old scriptoria were restoring and intensifing their activity, but at the same time new scriptoria started to fill the libraries of numerous churches and monasteries. The short supplyof liturgical books towards the end of the 15 th century motivated Djurdje Crnoevićto establish the first printing shop in the South Slavonic lands at Cetinje. During the first half ofthe 16 th century there were several printing shops at Goražde, in the monastery of Rujan and in the monasteries Gračanica and Mileševa. An analysis of the production of all those printingshops show that exclusively books necessary for normal performance of the rite were printed.ruSerbian ChurchclergymonasteryscriptoriumscriptoriumArtykuł
