Letter to Haralampije

A transcript of the Letter to Haralampije (Haralampius) was printed in 1783. It is an enlightenment manifesto that presents Dositej's basic ideas about the reform in literary expression and the application of civic Cyrillic in writing, as well as the introduction of the vernacular into literature. Dositej Obradović presented his programmatic manifesto in the form of a letter addressed to his friend Haralampije, a priest from Trieste.
