Educational paths of the Serbs in the 18th century

The paper presents part of the rich Serbian culture from the 18th century. Particular emphasis is placed on education (schools, coursebooks, and personal and academic journeys) in the Early Modern Era. The author shows the main trends in teaching during that period and pays attention to the problems of structuring coursebooks (e.g. the lack of fonts). In the text, the major direction of influences on the Serbian school system (mainly from Russia and the Habsburg Monarchy) is also indicated. The paper also shows the beginning of the construction of the modern Serbian language.
