Conceptual and editorial principles
1.
Anthology edition TEN CENTURIES OF SERBIAN LITERATURE (hereafter: the Anthology) is a project of national importance, initiated by Matica Srpska Publishing Centre in 2007.

2.
Proposal for the publishing of the Anthology (initially entitled Serbian literature in 150 books) was submitted by Miro Vuksanovic, Slavko Gordic, Milivoj Nenin and Gojko Tesic. The proposal was accepted in 2007 by Matica Srpska Publishing Centre Assembly (hereafter: the Centre), Matica Srpska Board of Directors and Matica Srpska Assembly (April 12th, 2008). This initiative was, as well, supported by the Serbian Literary Community.

3.
Matica Srpska Board of Directors appointed the managing editor for the Centre on November 17th, 2008, and his proposal for the editorial board of the Anthology was accepted by the Centre Assembly (December 23rd, 2008) and Matica Srpska Board of Directors (March 16th, 2009).

4.
The Anthology will present the entire development of Serbian literature, with purpose of reassessing it according to new findings and criteria.

5.
The Anthology will cover important Serbian literary achievements from different periods, making a choice among the best, representative works, unbiased to any literary genre or style.

6.
The Anthology will be chronological (not necessarily chronologically published), and as a specific literary history review, it will represent and contrast present and past values in a creative way.

7.
The Anthology will show the connections of Serbian literature with other national literatures, general models and motifs, influences and affinities, but above all the distinctiveness and indisputable values of Serbian literature..

8.
The Anthology will comprise ten centuries of Serbian literature, from 12th century literary works to the 21st century, including all genres of oral and written literature in Serbian language.

9.
The Anthology will evenly present Serbian folk literature, Serbian medieval, renaissance and baroque literature, as well as 18th, 19th, 20th and the beginning of 21st century Serbian literature. It will be open for remarkable works that may appear during publishing and later on.

10.
The most important writers in Serbian language will be represented in the Anthology, regardless of the time their work appeared, place of printing and form or dialect of Serbian language used. It means that no “keys” (territorial or temporal) will be used.

11.
Contemporary orthography issued by Matica Srpska will be used for printing the books in the Anthology, except in cases when language or stylistic peculiarities demand certain deviations.

12.
In the same volume of the Anthology, works of the same author may be printed regardless to genre, as well as related texts of several selected authors (in existing or commissioned anthologies; by epochs and genres in them).

13.
Every book of the Anthology will be compiled by experts for particular periods of Serbian literature and for particular authors, according to unified scientific model made by Editorial board.

14.
Apart from selected texts, every book of the Anthology will also contain:
a) Foreword (new text to the extent of one author’s sheet);
b) Chronology of author’s life and work (basic data);
v) Bibliographic contribution (first editions, complete works, selected references, data on complete or lexicon bibliographies);
g) Compiler’s notes (basic data on compiling, including principles for scientific use of transcription and similar explanations);
d) Selected critical review (1-1,5 author’s sheet of one or three authors at the most).

15.
Editorial board will decide which books will contain index or indexes, glossaries, explanation notes and other additions.

16.
The Anthology will be issued in an annual series. Selection of writers and their works will be carried out in stages. Books in the first series will be compiled and published in 2009 and 2010.

17.
The Anthology is funded by the Republic of Serbia, the Province of Vojvodina, from donations and the Centre’s incomes, as well as by participation of executive publisher (co-publisher) if a favourable contract is made.

18.
Books in the Anthology will be uniformly bound, hard-covered, with appropriate shape and number of pages (up to 500 pages large format), printed on toned paper. Printing will be defined after subscription offer and based on the obligations towards financiers.

19.
These Conceptual and editorial principles were accepted by the members of Editorial board of the Anthology at sessions held in May 17th, July 7th and November 16th, 2009 and February 23rd, 2011, December 5th, 2018, May 24th 2022, October 29th and November 20th 2024, and they will be amended and applied in further work.
