Vukan's Gospel (Serbian Cyrillic: Вуканово јеванђеље Serbian Latin: Vukanovo jevanđelje) is a 13th-century Serbian illuminated manuscript (Gospel Book) in Serbian recension of Church Slavonic.[1] It is one of the oldest preserved Serbian medieval books, with more than 189 pages.
It was produced in Ras,[2] which was the capital of the medieval Principality of Serbia, by the monk Simeon for Prince Vukan, the son of King Stefan Nemanja. It is the oldest aprakos written in Rascian. Miniatures in Vukan's Gospel from the beginning of the 13th century, are representative of the Raška miniature style. They were executed in the spirit of the late Comnenus art, characterized by graphic interpretations. The old monk Symeon left a long note saying that the manuscript had been made for the Great Zupan of the city of Ras, Vukan Nemanjić. It is quite possible that Simeon was the author of the miniatures.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
