Who are the founders of the first libraries in Serbia?

Rulers and the church * Although it is not reliably known, it is assumed that a library existed at the court of Stefan Nemanja, while his sons Stefan and Sava paid special attention to books. Emperor Dušan tried to found a library, and Stefan Lazarević, according to some indications, had his own library. His sons inherited the place dedicated to books from their father Đurađ Branković. The Serbian Orthodox Church also had its libraries in ancient times. The oldest Serbian church library existed in Hilandar, founded at the end of the 12th century.
