Fundations and fundation masses canons of Zagreb chapter from 1750 to 1900 : licentiate thesis

Zaklade su jedan od najstarijih oblika karitativnog djelovanja, stoga što je pomaganje potrebitima od davnina ukorijenjeno u Crkvi i u društvu, tako je jedan od poznatih oblika zaklada i misna zaklada ili altarija, kojom su ostavljane donacije od ostavitelja crkvi, odnosno određenom olatru na kojem su se služile mise za pokojnika. Osim ove vrste zaklade raširene su i zaklade za siromašne, bolesne, udovice, đake, studente i druge u potrebi. Priliku za pomaganjem nisu propuštali svećenici, koji su često, osim spomenutih misnih zaklada, osnivali razne zaklade za potrebite u društvu, bilo da su to činili za života ili ostavljajući svoju imovinu nakon smrti u te nakane. Tako su činili i kanonici Zagrebačkog kaptola, a o tome postoji i zapisi u dokumentima koji se čuvaju u arhivima. Tako se u Nadbiskupijskom arhivu u Zagrebu nalaze i oporučni spisi kanonika Zagrebačkog kaptola iz kojih je vidljivo na koji način je raspoređena njihova imovina, često donirana potrebitima ili ostavljena za zaklade ili zakladne mise. Velik je doprinos kanonika Zagrebačkoga kaptola koji su putem zaklada i zakladnih misa novčano pomagali obnovu crkava Zagrebačke biskupije/nadbiskupije, stipendirali siromašne đake i potpomagali siromašne, kao i niz drugih aktivnosti. Tako su njihovom zaslugom obnovljene i popravljene mnoge crkve, izrađeni oltari, kupljene orgulje, slike, kipovi, zvona i liturgijski predmeti za crkve na području Zagrebačke biskupije/nadbiskupije, ali i šire. Isto tako često su osnivali ili potpomagali izgradnju bolnica, učilišta, ubožnica, knjižnica i drugih značajnih institucija koje su doprinosile razvoju kulture i znanosti, te opstojnosti hrvatskog jezika i pisma. Stoga njihov značaj nije usmjeren samo na pojedince nego na širu zajednicu u vremenu u kojem su živjeli. U ovom radu donesen je pregled kanonika Zagrebačkoga kaptola koji su u drugoj polovici osamnaestog i tijekom devetnaestog stoljeća osnivali misne, stipendijske i druge zaklade, kao i uvid u neke oporučne spise kanonika.Foundations are one of the oldest forms of charitable activity, because helping the needy since ancient times is rooted in the Church and in society, so one of the known forms of foundations and mass foundations or altars, which left donations from the deceased to the church, or a certain olater on which masses were served for the deceased. In addition to this type of foundation, foundations for the poor, sick, widows, students and others in need are also widespread. The opportunity to help was not missed by priests, who often, in addition to the aforementioned mass foundations, established various foundations for the needy in society, whether they did so in their lifetime or leaving their property after death in these intentions. So did the canons of the Zagreb chapter, and there are records of it in documents kept in archives. Thus, the (Arch)diocese archives in Zagreb also contain the willary writings of the canons of the Zagreb chapter, which show how their property is distributed, often donated to the needy or left for foundations or foundation masses. A great contribution is made by the canons of the Zagreb chapter who, through foundations and foundation services, financially assisted the restoration of the churches of the Zagreb (Arch)diocese, scholarships for poor students and supported the poor, as well as a number of other activities. Thus, many churches, altars, purchased organ, paintings, statues, bells and liturgical objects for churches in the area of the Zagreb (Arch)diocese and beyond have been restored and repaired. They also often established or supported the construction of hospitals, institutions, workhouses, libraries and other significant institutions that contributed to the development of culture and science, and the survival of the Croatian language and script. Therefore, their significance is not only directed at individuals, but at the wider community in the time in which they lived. In this paper, an overview of the canons of the Zagreb chapter was adopted, which in the second half of the eighteenth and during the nineteenth century established mass, scholarship and other foundations, as well as an insight into some willful writings of the canons
