The manuscripts are written in the Serbian Half Ustav, Resava orthography on Venetian or Turkish paper. They have a high level of decoration using various styles: Balkan braid, teratological and plant. The records testify to the participation in their life of historical persons, such as the scribe of St. Paul's Athos Monastery Euthymius, Archbishop (Patriarch of Serbia) Paisius (1614-1646), Metropolitan Simeon of Herzegovina (1615-1630), and others.

Except for one, the bindings of Serbian manuscripts of the 17th century are original. This made it possible to establish regularities of their design features and decoration and determine the styles of the design of the bindings of the specified period and the tools used for this.

The paper is focused on a corpus of hymnographic texts dedicated to nun Stefanida/Stevka as an example of a literary work focused on the promotion of a newly revealed saint by the Serbian Orthodox ...Church, whose role is to elevate the spiritual essence of a society that underwent secularization during the socialist era, while revisiting the core principles of this society’s ideological resilience. By using means of expression, such as modern language (vernacular), fragments of Stevka’s letters, and Serbian cultural and religious topoi, the authors of the hymnographic texts made them more accessible to the contemporary believer. Additionally, the hymnographic texts symbolically represent the spiritual landscape of both past and contemporary Serbia, adding to a more comprehensive narrative about the historical cohesion of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
The idea of the bond with ancestors, along with the categories of sin, suffering and redemption (in the soteriological interpretation) is one of the crucial ones in Petar II Petrović Njegoš’s poem ...“The Mountain Wreath” and constitutes the fundamental point of reference for the contemporary Serbian historiosophers (among others, R. Samardžić and V. Jerotić) as well. Updated and somewhat modified in the first half of the 20th century by bishop N. Velimirović, also at the beginning of the 21th century, this idea characterises a unique collectivistic thinking about Serb’s “historical curse” which stems from the collective responsibility and “inheritance of sins”.

This paper represents the continuation of the research started within the article Linguo-cultural qualifiers in the Dictionary of Serbian language, where we have marked as linguo-cultural qualifiers ...the following dictionary markers: etn. (ethnology, ethnography), prazn. (superstition), mit. (mythology, mythological), ist. (history, historical), rlg. (religion, religious), teol. (theology, theological), crkv. (church), pravosl. (Orthodoxy, orthodox) and kat. (Catholic). On this occasion, we have chosen those lexemes which are marked by the qualifier etn. (ethnology, ethnography) in the Dictionary of Serbian language (2011), i.e. those which refer to Serbian folk life and customs, or to be more precise – names of holidays, customs, rituals, parts of folk clothes, popular games and similar, as most of these lexemes represent the so-called non-equivalent lexis and are usually problematic in terms of translating or learning Serbian as a foreign language, but at the same time enable learning about Serbian culture and tradition.

At the heart of this research is the character of Sveta Petronijević from the novel “The Third Spring” by Dragoslav Mihailović. In this paper, an excerpt from the life of Sveta Petronijević will show ...how a small, provincial man, a person from the margins, is influenced by a powerful ideological mechanism that leads to his transformation and life tragedy. Under the influence of the ruling regime, the man is brought into a situation in which he is exploited, and must abide by the regime. Various interests, low passions and moral are stumbling blocks shown through the character of Sveta Petronijević, symbolically presenting him as a tragic and marginalised being in the universe pressed by the weight of ideology and system.
