The Glagolitic Fragment of Breviary from Banj

Papirnata Knjižica krizme iz Banja iz početka 17. stoljeća omotana je u stariji pergamentni dvolist ispisan glagoljicom. To je odlomak kodeksa koji ćemo zvati Banjski odlomak brevijara. U članku se glagoljski tekst Banjskog odlomka transliterira na latinicu i datira na temelju analize hrvatskoga crkvenoslavenskoga jezika i glagoljskoga pisma. Opis liturgijskog sadržaja i usporedba teksta s glagoljskim i latinskim brevijarima pomoći će u definiranju sanktorala. Izrađen je rječnik svih pojavnica za buduća leksikografska istraživanja. Uz sliku paleografske iskaznice, ilustrira se i kodikološka analiza na temelju koje se može odrediti skriptorij u kojem je dvolist nastao. Prilažu se i fotografije rukopisa.On the basis of the author’s linguistic and paleographic analyses this fragment of the Glagolitic breviary belongs to the 15th century. It is the parchment cover of the paper Booklet from the 17th century in the Archaeological Museum in Split. The author named this bifolia the Banj Fragment of Breviary as the Booklet comes from Banj on the Island of Pašman, Croatia. Both the reconstruction of the codicological dimensions of the Banj Fragment and the holes at the side of the text by which the line system had been defined clearly show that the fragment was written in a good scriptorium with a long tradition, which probably belonged to the Benedictine monastery on the Island of Pašman (Čokovac). The first leaf contains the feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of Our Saviour and the commemoration of a soldier, St. Theodore, the Martyr, both on November 9. The second leaf contains several commemorations of November 22 and 23: St. Cecilia, the Virgin and Martyr, St. Felicitas, the mother of the Seven Holy Martyrs, and St. Clement I, the Pope and Martyr. The organisation of the prayers and lives of the saints of this Proper of the Saints does not correspond entirely with any complete breviary. The transliteration of the text of the first leaf has been compared with the Second Breviary from Novi (1495) and the Latin parallel text has been mainly taken from Breviarium Romanum (Budae MDCCCXIV). The second leaf transliteration has been compared with the 15th century Breviary from Ljubljana (#161 a/2) and the Latin parallel has been taken mainly from Breviarium de Camera (Venetiis 1521). At the end there is a dictionary of all the words as they appear in the text. The Banj Fragment cannot be affiliated with any known breviary and probably represents another unique manuscript of the Croatian Glagolitic heritage that was lost
