Abstract

Svetačke legende čine najrašireniji literarni oblik srednjovjekovlja koji se dijeli na nekoliko (pod)žanrova: passio, vita, translatio, miraculum. Njihov razvoj se može pratiti od nastanka prvih opisa mučeničkih smrti u 2. st. Najraniji tekstualni slojevi pokazuju veoma zanimljive odnose. Osim biblijske, baštine i mnogo elemenata iz antičke poganske tradicije. Za očuvanje djela klasičnih autora u velikoj su mjeri zaslužni skriptoriji, a značajna je i njihova upotreba u kontekstu obrazovanja. Stoga, u ovome radu proučeni su antički književni motivi kao narativne strategije unutar različitih (pod)žanrovskih oblika svetačkih legendi povezanih uz Zadar, Rovinj i Dubrovnik. Na temelju dostupnih izvora i relevantne literature nastoji se prikazati oblikovanje (pod) žanrova i odnos historiografije i hagiografije te analizirati detektirani motivi kroz poimanje literarnih spolia kao odraza onodobnih društvenih i političkih nastojanja.

Abstract (english)

Hagiographic legends are the most widespread literary form of the Middle Ages, which is divided into several (sub)genres: passio, vita, translatio, miraculum. Their development can be traced back to the creation of the first martyrdom descriptions in the 2nd centhury. The earliest textual layers show very interesting relationship. In addition to the biblical elements, they inherited motifs from the ancient pagan tradition. Scriptoria are largely responsible for preserving the works of classical authors, and their use in the context of education is significant. Therefore, in this paper, ancient literary motifs were studied as narrative strategies within different (sub)genre forms of saint’s legends associated with Zadar, Rovinj and Dubrovnik. Based on available sources and relevant secondary literature, an attempt is made to show the formation of (sub)genres, relations between historiography and hagiography and to analyze the detected motifs through the understanding of literary spolia as a reflection of contemporary social and political efforts.
