Glagolitic graffito from Gradac

Autor donosi precrt i transkripciju kratkoga glagoljskog zapisa, na neobrađenom komadu kamena (visine 16, 5, širine 43 i debljine 6 cm; natpisno polje 9x23 cm), koji je pronašao u gradačkom groblju, desetak kilometara sjevernoistočno od Drniša, crkovinar Ivan Vidović. Natpis opominje svakog čovjeka da se ne veseli zbog toga što je hitar nego zbog toga što ga prati sreća. Na temelju paleografske analize natpis pokazuje neke grafijske srodnosti s Bečkim listićima, Ljubljanskim homilijarom, Vrbničkim I. brevijarom, Humskim grafitom i Humačkom pločom te se može datirati u drugu polovicu 12. ili prvu polovicu 13. stoljeća, kad je u Hrvatskoj bila raširena uporaba glagoljice. U isto su se vrijeme u Hrvatskoj često zbivali mali lokalni oružani sukobi, a dva puta i veliki vojni pohodi (Bizant, Tatari). Čak je pred Tatarima i sam ugarski kralj Bela IV. morao bježati prema Jadranu, neposredno uz mjesto gdje je pronađen natpis, te je zato bilo vrlo važno biti hitar, ali i imati dobru sreću kako je istaknuto na natpisu.The author presents a copy and the transcription of a short Glagolitic insrctiption on an unfinished rough piece of stone 16,5 x 43 x 6 cm, with the inscription field size 9 x 23 cm. Sacristan Ivan Vidović found the stone fragment in the Gradac cemetery, ten kilometres north-east of Drniš. The inscription is a warning to someone not to be merry because of a celebrity but because of the fortune that accompanies him. On the basis of paleographic analysis the inscription shows some graphic similarities with the Vienna Fragment, the Ljubljana Homiliar, the First Vrbnik Breviary, the Hum Graffito, and the Humac Plate. It can be from the second half of the 12th, or the first half of the 13th century when the Glagolitic script was widely used in Croatia. In that time a few local armed conflicts and two military aggressions (Byzantium, Tatars) took place. Even the Hungarian king Bela IV had to flee to the Adriatic Coast, close to the place where the inscription was found. Therefore it was important not only to be swift, but also to have a good luck as the inscription emphasised
