Rakovac
Raka Milošević
Chamberlain of Despot Jovan Branković; according to legend the founder of Rakovac Monastery, which is named after him.
Isaija Parivodski
The hermitage (isposnica) in the forest east of Beli Majdan is named after him. He signed himself Isaija Parivodić, hieromonk of Rakovac; guides call him Parivodski.
- 1767: he copied the chronicle of Abbot Teofan, the text that preserves the founding legend of the monastery.
- 1771: published descriptions of the hermitage read his inscription beside the entrance as 1771: he stayed at the cave “at the time of his infirmity”. He is considered the first monk of Rakovac to live there.
- The Eparchy of Srem names him as a copyist of a Srbljak (book of services to Serbian saints) and writes that he rests at the hermitage, near the former monks’ cemetery.
His dates of birth and death are not known. See Hermitage of Isaija Parivodski.
