Lazar Mirković (1885–1968) was a Serbian liturgist, writer, art historian, and professor at the Faculty of Theology of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Belgrade.
Biography
editLazar Mirković was born in Pivnice in Bačka, Serbia. He graduated from the Serbian Orthodox Gymnasium in Sremski Karlovci and then the Theological Seminary in 1906. After graduating from the Theological Seminary, he enrolled at the Faculty of Theology in Chernivtsi, where he earned his degree in 1908 and received his doctorate in 1912. For a time, he was Prefect of the Theological Seminary in Sremski Karlovci. After receiving his doctorate, he was appointed assistant professor at the Karlovci Theological Seminary for the subjects Church Slavonic language and liturgy.
After the establishment of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in the University of Belgrade (1920), he was appointed professor of liturgy. He was the dean of the Faculty of Arts on several occasions and remained there until his retirement in 1952, and later, until 1961, as an associate professor.
He was a member and collaborator of several scientific institutions: in 1923, he was entrusted with the Department of Medieval Antiquities at the National Museum; in 1925, he became a corresponding member of the Serbian Scientific Society, and since 1927, he has been a regular member of the Historical Society in Novi Sad. Since 1947, he has also been a research associate at the Archaeological Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences, and since 1950, he has been an external associate at the Institute for the Study of Literature of the Serbian Academy of Sciences. As a prominent scholar, he lectured at the International Byzantine Congresses in Athens in 1930, Sofia in 1934, Rome in 1936, Palermo in 1951, and Thessaloniki in 1953.
Lazar Mirković certainly belongs to the ranks of significant Orthodox liturgists. The Liturgy he wrote is still used today as a manual for theologians. Our most famous expert, Academician Vojislav J. Đurić, who “reached the very peaks of iconographic analysis and became one of its most brilliant representatives in European science”, judged Mirković as an art historian.
From his extremely extensive bibliography, which numbers 295 published units, the following works stand out: Orthodox Liturgy or the Science of Divine Liturgy of the Orthodox Eastern Church and Heortology or the Historical Development of Divine Liturgy of the Orthodox Eastern Church.
