About Joakim Domestik Srbije

Joakim Domestik (of Serbia) (XV century) is one of the rare known names that has appeared from the darkness of Serbian Middle Ages. "Joakim monah i domestik Srbije" — as he signed in 1453 in more places in the manuscript number 2406 from the Athens National library. Three compositions in this large collection carry Joakims name - two Kinoniks (pričastena) and one Theotokion (Madonna's song). Although, given the Greek text that was signed under Neum, Joakim's nationality can not be determined with confidence (because he has the title "domestik Srbije" does not necessarily mean that he was a Serb), this manuscript is still an important evidence that close links existed in the Middle Ages between the Byzantine church and Serbian music.
