DESCRIPTION:This paper will present and discuss the innovative features of
  decorative practices in Post-Byzantine art (15th-17th centuries) due to c
 ontact with Ottoman visual culture. As a part of the heterogeneous Ottoman
  Empire\, the South Slavonic world was in direct contact with the material
  culture coming from the regions of Asia Minor and the Middle East. The pr
 ocess of "orientalization" is remarked from the 15th century in the decora
 tive practices of manuscript production\, liturgical vessels\, liturgical 
 textiles\, and icon and mural ornaments. The presence of these Ottoman mot
 ifs in the decoration of Slavonic manuscripts has been associated mainly w
 ith the Ioan Kratovski manuscript heritage.\n
