Scutari

Marinović built a printing house in Scutari in 1563. The second book he published was, according to its prologue, printed in Scutari. This book printed in Scutari was linked to the Venice issued by its style while its graphic was poor. It was printed on paper and had 224 pages. Marinović brought a skillful printer Camillo Zanetti with him to Scutari where he completed Triod by printing its remaining part ( sr, Cvetni Triod). Because Marinović used similar typography as Vićenco Vuković some authors believe that there is a possibility that he actually did not print his last book in Scutari, but in Venice. Other authors explain that he used typography similar to Vuković's simply because he liked it and ordered similar one to be made for his book printed in Scutari. Marinović was chronologically the third publisher of
