Neglected data about the year of construction of the church of the virgin in Studenica

A significant discovery sheds light on the construction chronology of Studenica Monastery's main church, revealing that Stefan Nemanja built it in 1194/1195. This finding stems from two previously overlooked late sources: inscriptions on copper engravings depicting the monastery, created in Moscow in 1758. The study highlights the importance of these neglected data in refining the historical timeline of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
