Priest Jovan Sinaita in Serbian Поп Јован Синаит was a 14th-century Serbian writer.
During his trip to Sinai, Porphyrius Uspensky found three manuscripts written by the scribe of Sinai, the priest Jovan of Sinai's a Gospel, a psalter and a collection called "Words of the Soul".[1] Uspensky considers that priest Jovan was still alive in 1481, and V. Rozov, full of enthusiasm, considers that the collection "Slovesa dušepolezna" is Jovan Sinaita's original work and counts him among the original Serbian writers of the 14th century.[2] As it has been established that these are the usual collections of translated spiritual texts, most probably the priest Jovan Sinait belongs to the bearers of the Sinaitic revival movement of the 14th and 15th centuries, which was fruitful among all Orthodox peoples, including Serbs.[3][4]
