It is believed that several scribes worked on the creation of the manuscript, however, a monk named Simon was identified as the leading scribe who proofread, edited and completed the work in a monastic cave near the residence of the župan at Stari Ras. Two miniatures in the Vukan Gospel exist, John the Evangelist and Christ Emmanuel, showing Byzantine art influence.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-sqiDwAAQBAJ&dq=Monk+Simeon+of+Vukan%27s+Gospel&pg=PA653|title=Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages (500-1300) (2 vols)|first=Florin|last=Curta|date=July 8, 2019|publisher=BRILL|isbn=9789004395190|via=Google Books}}{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tKefAAAAMAAJ&q=monk+simeon,+author+of+vukan%27s+gospel|title = Art heritage of Serbia|last1 = Popović|first1 = Ljubiša B.|last2 = Skovran|first2 = Anika|last3 = Ambrozić|first3 = Katarina|year = 1984}}
