Luka Radovanović or Don Luka Radovanović[2] was 15th century catholic priest from Ragusa. He was chaplain of the female monastery of St. Mary of Kaštel.[3]
It is assumed that in 1475 Radovanović could have inherited or acquired a small printing press.[1] In December 1480 Radovanović is mentioned in one decision of Ragusan Minor Council which allowed him, as representative of the cathedral church of St Mary, to organize reparation and solidification of two water cisterns in this church.[4] In 1487 Radovanović was mentioned in Ragusan documents as one of bookbinders of Ragusa.[5][6]
On 15 October 1501[7] Radovanović wrote his will in which he left his printing press with "slavic" (Cyrillic)[1][8] types to another priest, Pavle Vukašinović (died in 1555).[3][9][10] It is unknown if this printing press was operational in Ragusa, but it is certain that its types were imported from Venice.[1] Radovanović died on 15 July 1502.[7]
