Autobiography of Protosyncellos Kiril Cvjetković and his suffering for Orthodoxy – facsimile edition of 2004, prepared by Prof. Dr Goran Maksimović.

The book was originally published by Serbian Royal Academy in Belgrade in 1898 and edited by Dimitrije Ruvarac. „Konstantin Cvjetković was born in Baošići 1791. As a seventeen year old, he received the solemn monastic rank and until the end of his life remained resolute in his faith and love for his people, despite the ordeal he endured with dignity in Austro-Hungarian casemates for almost 25 years. He was not granted even his only desire to spend his last days in his „Fatherland – Bay of Kotor“. He was a contemporary of great historical changes under Venetian, then French and Austro-Hungarian rule, and as the private secretary of Bishop Venedikt Kraljević, a witness to unification attempts of Dalmatian Orthodox eparchy. „Autobiography ...“ is a valuable chronicle of historical events in the Orthodox Church, as well as a moving story and perhaps a unique example of suffering, which was the price of true patriotism and firmness in his faith. The work belongs to the literary tradition of documentary prose narratives nurtured with the authors of Bay of Kotor throughout the epoch.
