Abstract

Ivan Filip Vesdin, rođen u obitelji gradišćanskih Hrvata, poznatiji pod redovničkim imenom Paulinus a Sancto Bartholomaeo (1748. – 1806.), bio je karmelićanski misionar u jugozapadnoj Indiji od 1776. do 1789. Vesdin je stvorio impresivan opus koji se sastoji od knjiga i rukopisa o istočnjačkim jezicima, brahmanskoj vjeri i običajima te misionarskoj povijesti, među kojima je i prva ikada tiskana sanskrtska gramatika. Njegova brojna postignuća čine ga pionirom indologije i poredbenog jezikoslovlja. Ovaj diplomski rad donosi prijevod sedmoga poglavlja njegova putopisa Viaggio alle Indie orientali, izvorno napisanog na talijanskom jeziku, a objavljenog u Rimu 1796. godine. Njegov putopis bogat je kulturnim, povijesnim i geografskim podacima, autentično svjedočanstvo vremena i običaja te se smatra najpopularnijom i najprevođenijom Vesdinovom knjigom iako nikada nije temeljito preveden na nijedan od europskih jezika.

Abstract (english)

Filip Vesdin, born into a family of Burgenland Croats, better known by his monastic name Paulinus a Sancto Bartholomaeo (1748–1806), was a Carmelite missionary stationed in Southwestern India from 1776 to 1789. His wish to spread the Cristian teaching and faith took him to another continent and his open mind, broad interests and dedication led him to great scientific achievements. Vesdin created an impressive opus which consists of books and manuscripts on oriental languages, Brahmanic religion and customs and missionary history, among which the first Sanskrit grammar ever printed. This thesis brings a translation of the seventh chapter of his travelogue Viaggio alle Indie orientali rich in cultural, historical, and geographic information, originally written in Italian and published in Rome in 1796. This travelogue is an authentic testimony of the time and customs and is considered Vesdin’s most popular and most translated book although it has paradoxically never been thoroughly read nor well translated in any of the European languages.
