Woodcut illustrations published in the Octoechos (Tone 5-8) in Cetinje in 1494 have long been the focus of researchers because of their exquisite workmanship. However, due to the lack of historical data, the questions regarding their sources and authors remain unsolved. Their complex style and composition indicate a dual origin: intertwining of the traditional Orthodox Serbian iconography with the new Venetian Renaissance motifs. This paper points to the city of Dubrovnik as a possible place of origin of some elements of illustrations, and seeks their authors among the local painters and goldsmiths.
