In writing about Serbian history, Domentian unified all three basic genres of the Serbian literary system: poetry in the form of prayers serves as the motivation for certain actions; prose, both factual and fictional, was the basis for the narration as a whole; rhetorical eulogies sublimate the events and analyze the phenomena and people.
Thus, written literature relied on oral poetry, which was acutely vivid, drawing on its own inspiration, ethical principles and a noble sensitivity taken from the testimonies of the medieval epoch, safeguarded in the libraries of the aging monasteries.
