Religiozna lirika Antuna Kanižlića

U ovom se radu govori o religioznoj lirici slavonskog pisca Antuna Kanižlića (1699–1777). Najprije se prikazuje kulturnopovijesni kontekst Slavonije u 18. stoljeću s naglaskom na važnosti tiskane knjige i vjerskog prosvjećivanja u razvitku toga kraja. Opisuje se rad isusovaca i franjevaca u Slavoniji, kao i njihov značaj za početak opismenjavanja naroda tiskanjem abecevica (početnica), poučavanjem čitanja i pisanja te poučavanjem vjerskih istina. U središnjem dijelu rada prikazuju se Kanižlićevi katekizmi i molitvenici te se ističe njihov značaj za cjelokupni opus ovoga slavonskog pisca, a zatim se analizira religiozna lirika koju oni sadrže. U analizi religiozne lirike uočava se Kanižlićev bogati barokni stil, teme i česti motivi prisutni u većini molitvenika poput ljubavi, prolaznosti, grijeha, milosrđa, smrti, života te njihovi međusobni odnosi. Na kraju rada donosi se zaključak u kojem se govori o važnosti Kanižlića za Slavoniju u 18. stoljeću i njegovu oslanjanju na prethodnike.This paper discusses the religious lyric poetry by the Slavonian writer Antun Kanižlić (1699–1777). Firstly, the cultural and historical context of the 18th century Slavonia is presented, with an emphasis on the importance that printed books and religious enlightenment had for the development of that region. The work of the Jesuits and Franciscans in Slavonia is described, as well as their significance in developing the literacy of the people through printing alphabet books (primers), teaching reading, writing, and truths of faith. The central part of the paper presents Kanižlić's catechisms and prayer books, and emphasizes their significance in the context of all of his works, followed by an analysis of the religious lyric poetry they contain. The analysis points at Kanižlić's lavish baroque style, themes, and common motifs present in the majority of prayer books – such as love, transience, sin, mercy, death, life, as well as their correlation. The conclusion at the end of the paper examines Kanižlić's importance for Slavonia in 18th century and his reliance on his predecessors
