Summary/Abstract: This study re-evaluates the manuscript corpus attributed to the Serbian copyist Damijan-Iosif through the application of the Cyrillic Palaeography Toolkit, a digital instrument enabling detailed script analysis. By reassessing six manuscripts bearing his name or monogram and examining two additional codices previously linked to an anonymous collaborator, the study attributes them all to Damijan-Iosif. A further manuscript reveals the presence of a collaborator, distinguished through palaeographic and layout features. These findings shed new light on collaborative practices within the Hilandar scriptorium and demonstrate the potential of digital methodologies to enhance traditional palaeographic attribution frameworks in South Slavonic manuscript studies.
