Domentijan (Serbian Cyrillic: Доментијан; c. 1210 - after 1264), also known as Domentijan the Hilandarian (Доментијан Хиландарац), was a major figure in medieval Serbian literature and philosophy.[1] He was a monk of the Hilandar Monastery and a contemporary of Saint Sava.[2] In fact, he accompanied St. Sava on his visit to the Holy Land. He was highly respected by both the royal court and the monks of Mount Athos. The Athonite scribe Teodore's account of his troubles, recorded on the pages of the Hexameron (Šestodnev) of John the Exarch, which Teodore copied at Domentijan's request, contains many references to Domentijan's humanity and the help he gave him. The manuscript is now in the State Historical Museum in Moscow.
It can be concluded that Domentijan was essentially a hymnologist who wrote biographies of two Serbian saints, but in fact glorified monasticism and Christianity.
