Abstract

Svetačke legende ili žitija (koja se odnose na bizantsko-slavenski kulturni krug) sadržavaju životopise svetaca, ali mogu pričati priču i o svečevom mučeništvu za Krista. Bila je to izrazito važna, ali i popularna književna vrsta srednjeg vijeka. U prvome dijelu ovoga rada razmatraju se kulturno-društvene okolnosti srednjega vijeka, srednjovjekovna književnost općenito te osobitosti svetačkih legendi, odnosno žitija, a potom napose i obilježja hrvatske i ruske srednjovjekovne književnosti, kao i njihove književne veze te njihove reprezentativne svetačke legende. Glavni dio rada bavi se usporedbom sedam hrvatskih i ruskih redakcija istih tekstova, kako bi se istaknule njihove sličnosti i razlike. Potom se analiziraju tri hrvatske legende koje nemaju svoje ruske redakcije, te četiri ruska žitija koja nemaju svoje hrvatske redakcije, kako bi se stekao širi uvid, te istaknule razlike, ali i otkrile potencijalne sličnosti.

Abstract (english)

Legends about saints or the so called žitija (as they are referred to in the Byzantine-Slavic cultural circle) contain the biographies of saints, but they can also tell the story of a saint's martyrdom for Christ. It was a particularly important, as well as a popular literary genre of the Middle Ages. The first part of the paper offers an overview of the cultural and social circumstances in the Middle Ages, of medieval literature in general, and of the specific features of saintly legends or žitija as a literary genre, and, more specifically, of Croatian and Russian medieval literatures and saintly legends, as well as of the Croatian-Russian literary ties. The main part of the paper contains the analysis of seven Croatian and Russian editions of the same texts, highlighting their differences and similarities. This is followed by the analysis of three Croatian legends that do not have their Russian counterparts and four Russian žitija that do not have their Croatian counterparts, with the aim to provide broader insight, and to emphasize their differences, as well as to explore their potential similarities.
