Glagolitic Graffiti in Lovran – a Particularity in Popular Expression

U radu ćemo izdvojiti glagoljske grafite kao poseban oblik pučkoga književnoga izričaja iz vremena „zlatnoga doba“ hrvatskoga glagoljaštva. Usredotočit ćemo se na četrdesetak lovranskih glagoljskih grafita iz 15. i 16. stoljeća koji se nalaze u župnoj crkvi Sv. Jurja, temeljeći se na popisu koji je objavio akademik Branko Fučić 1982. godine u Glagoljskim natpisima. Cilj je ovoga rada sustavno istražiti važnost sačuvanih zapisa u žbuci te njihov značaj iz današnje perspektive (uz moguće istoznačne usporedbe) sagledavanja života čovjeka, njegovih potreba i htijenja.In the paper, we shall be singling out Glagolitic graffiti as a particular form of Croatian literary expression from the time of the Golden Age of Croatian Glagolism. We shall be concentrating on some forty Glagolitic graffiti in Lovran from the 15th and 16th century that are found in the Parish Church of St George, basing our research on the list published by Academician Branko Fučić in Glagoljski natpisi in 1982. The objective of this work is to research systematically the importance of these notations preserved in stucco and their significance from today’s perspective (with possible synonymous comparison) considering Man’s life, his needs and his aspirations during the Golden Age of Croatian Glagolism
