Ninac Vukosalić

Ninac (Serbian Cyrillic: Нинац;^[a] fl. 1450–59), called "the Serbian scribe" (dijak srpski), was the scribe and chancellor at the court of Albanian lord Skanderbeg; he authored at least four of Skanderbeg's documents written in Old Serbian. Two of the documents were letters to the Republic of Ragusa. The Albanian court used Serbian for communicating with the neighbouring Slavs.[1] The 1450 letter in Slavic and Cyrillic sent to Ragusa by Skanderbeg from Lezhë, mentioned Ninac as "his chancellor", whom he sent to Ragusa.[2][3] This letter was signed personally by Skanderbeg, unlike two earlier Skanderbeg's letters sent to Ragusa which were written and signed by "scribe Ninac by own hands" (дијак Нинац својом руком).[4] He served as Skanderbeg's scribe for at least 9 years.[5]
