Author discusses the phenomenon of the Virgin Mary cult revival along the eastern Adriatic cost during the High and Late Middle Ages, with the special emphasis to the various aspects of devotion. ...Some aspects of this devotion of the Holy Virgin included pilgrimages to various Marian sanctuaries along the Adriatic coast, especially to Trsat, Loreto, Recanati, and Caleno. During the thirteenth century these shrines became numerous, and this phenomenon was closely connected with the strengthening of the Marian cult within theology, as well as, regarding the canon law, and in the everyday laic piety. Moreover, this is quite evident in the contemporary sacral art. Namely, from the time of the Gothic period one can trace stronger influence of the Marian iconography in the sacral and votive paintings in churches and monasteries, as well as, in the private chapels of rich nobility. Hereafter the cult of the Holy Virgin transformed her into universal advocate of all the people against various grievances, such as famine, war, sickness etc. On the other hand, this cult strengthening is also visible in the production of narrative literature and poetry. By the same token, author investigates emergence and recordings of the Marian prayers, as well as, rooting of the prayer practices in the works of Juraj Sizgoric, Marko Marulic and Frane Bozicevic Natalis. Furthermore, author has researched the festivities connected with the name of Virgin Mary that can be found in the communal records, legal documents, and in the medieval statutes of towns and fraternities. These festivities were quite significant in daily life since the cult of the heavenly protector could consolidate entire community, especially in the times of war or other gravities. Intensity of this spiritual and religious tendency of late medieval man towards Holy Mary, as the first and the most powerful Christian advocate in the eyes of the Lord, can be traced also through the votive gifts to the Marian shrines. These gifts were kind of covenant for corporal or spiritual healing, and salvation of parents or other family members. Similarly, author has investigated emergence of the Marian fraternities along the eastern Adriatic coast, and tried to reveal social and professional structure of their members, especially regarding the specific characteristics of the Marian piety.

U radu autorica razlaze procvat kulta Blazene Djevice Marije u razvijenome i kasnome sred-njem vijeku na istocnoj jadranskoj obali, kao i njegov razvoj i sirenje kroz razlicite aspekte poboznosti. Kao jedan od vidova poboznosti prema Bogorodici razmatraju se sve ucestalija hodocasca u razlicita Marijina svetista na jadranskoj obali. Od razdoblja gotike osjeca se sve snazniji utjecaj marijanske ikonografije na sakralnim i votivnim slikama u crkvama i samostanima, ali i u privatnim kapelama bogatog patricijata. Od tog razdoblja kult stovanja Djevice Marije preobrazava je u univerzalnu zagovornicu citava puka protiv raznih nedaca kao sto su glad, rat, bolesti i sl. Posljedica procvata marijanskoga kulta bila je i sve jaca pisana produkcija narativnih i poetskih djela. U tome smislu proucava se i nastanak i zapis marijanskih molitava i ukorjenjivanje molitvene prakse (Juraj Sizgoric, Marko Marulic, Frane Bozicevic Natalis) kao i proslave razlicitih blagdana vezanih uz Marijino ime. Razmatranjem nastanka marijanskih bratovstina u istocnojadranskim komunama, pokusat ce se ukazati na drustvenu i profesionalnu strukturiranost vjernika s obzirom na specificnu marijansku poboznost. KLJUCNE RIJECI: kult Blazene Djevice Marije, istocni Jadran, srednji vijek, poboznost, crkvena povijest.
O Jurju Slovincu, srednjovjekovnom hrvatskom svećeniku, magistru i doktoru teologije, u hrvatskoj historiografiji ne zna se baš mnogo, no zasigurno njegov lik i djelo značajno su obilježili ...sveučilišnu povijest pariške Sorbone. Prije dvije godine na hrvatski je jezik prevedeno njegovo najznačajnije djelo teološkoga karaktera Le chasteau de virginité (Dvorac djevičanstva) koje je prvotno objavljeno u dvije autorove redakcije, latinskoj i francuskoj.
Na temelju objavljenih izvora i relevantne literature u radu je prikazan Jurjev život, školovanje i djelovanje u Parizu i Toursu te onaj najznačajniji segment njegova rada i doprinosa srednjovjekovne hrvatske kulture zapadnoeuropskoj, u vidu njegova promicanja hrvatskoga glagoljskog pisma u Francuskoj.
Even though Juraj Slovinac, who was Croatian medieval cleric, teacher and doctor of theology, significantly marked history of the Paris Sorbonne University, Croatian historiography does not know much ...about him and his life path. He studied humanities and theology in Paris, and stayed there to teach until 1402. Slovinac was a typical Croatian intellectual with the European pedigree, who mostly lived in the French surroundings, but he also did not hide his Croatian origin, and therefore he became one of the major >>backbones<< of the medieval connections between France and Croatia. Two years ago Croatian audience could finally read the Croatian translation of his most important work Le chasteau de virginite (Castle of virginity) that was originally published in two editions: Latin and French. Thus, author of this article tried, on the basis of the published sources and literature, to reconstruct Slovinac's life path, his education and activities in Paris and Tours. Moreover, author has put a special attention to Slovinac's most important activity regarding the promotion of Croatian culture in the West Europe, and that was presentation of the Croatian Glagolitic script in France.

On the basis of an analysis of published sources and literature, this essay systematically
overviews the life, activity and contributions to the European and
Croatian humanist-Renaissance tradition ...of the famous humanist from Zagreb,
Pavao Skalić (1534–1575). A polyhistor, philosopher, theologian and polemist,
Skalić studied philosophy in Vienna and obtained a doctorate of theology from
the University of Bologna in 1522. For impersonating (Scaliger), provocations
and criticisms of the structures of the Roman Catholic Church, Skalić was forced
to leave Vienna but he managed to stay in the elite circles of the European nobility
and attend many noble courts. In Tübingen he converted to Protestant faith and
socialized with Protestant intellectuals: Primož Trubar, Peter Paul Vergerius Jr.,
Ivan Ungnad, Stjepan Konzul and Antun Dalmatin. Towards the end of his life he
returned into the folds of the Roman Catholic Church and wrote polemical treatises
against Protestants and Protestantism (for instance against P. P. Vergerius,
in 1563). Skalić was highly ambitious and cared less for systematic studies and
thorough research. He was just twenty years old when in Bologna he published a
book titled Conclusiones in omni genere scientiarum (‘Conclusions in all kinds of
sciences’) in which he divided sciences into divine, angelical, heavenly, elementary
and of hell. Among his best known publications are the books Encyclopediae
seu Orbis disciplinarum tam sacrarum quam prophanarum, Epistemon, where the
word “encyclopaedia” is mentioned for the first time in the European written tradition.
The Archbishop of Split, Marco Antonio (Marko Antun) de Dominis and the Franciscan
Fra Paolo Sarpi had a very close ideological relationship. Both were fervent
defenders of the Venetian Republic in ...matters related to both public and religious life
what had caused Pope Paul V’s interdict against Venice. This marked the beginning
of their friendship and cooperation, followed by a great similarity in ideas, primarily
those related to the degree of papal priority within the Catholic Church, which De
Dominis considered as one of the reasons for the schism. Furthermore, both were
in favour of separating the secular from the vernacular (spiritual) government. This
would later result in the strict separation of the church from the state in modern
societies. The clearest evidence of their relationship was De Dominis’ initiative to publish
Sarpi’s magnum opus The history of the Council of Trent, as part of his lifelong
ambition: the unification of all Christian churches.
U fokusu istraživanja je život i djelovanje rapskoga biskupa Vincenta Negusantija (Vincentius Nigusantius/Negusantius; Vincenzo Negusanti), podrijetlom s Apeninskoga poluotoka, iz pokrajine Umbrije ...(rođen je u komuni Fano 1487., gdje je i umro 1573.), koji je obnašao službu rapskoga biskupa od 1514. do 1567. godine. Na temelju postojećih saznanja iz historiografije i istraživanja izvorne arhivske građe iz Državnoga arhiva u Zadru (fond: Spisi rapskih bilježnika), naročito njegove posljednje volje, nastoji se rekonstruirati njegov curriculum vitae i djelovanje u razdoblju od kada postaje rapskim biskupom (1514.) pa sve do njegove smrti 1573. U završnome dijelu rada raščlanjuje se oporučni spis biskupa Negusantija te se u prilogu objavljuje cjelovit prijepis testamenta.
U radu autorica prikazuje djelovanje hvarske bratovštine Sv. Duha od njezina osnutka u XIV. stoljeću do uspostave francuske vlasti u Dalmaciji 1806. godine, kada su ukinute gotovo sve bratovštine u ...istočnojadranskim komunama, pa tako i ova. Na temelju analize izvorne arhivske građe - administrativne knjige bratovštine Sv. Duha (1773.-1804.) koja se čuva u Državnom arhivu u Zadru, zatim objavljenoga pravilnika (matrikule) bratovštine, Valierove i Priulieve kanonske vizitacije Hvarske biskupije 1579. i 1602./1603., kao i podataka iz relevantne literature o hvarskoj crkvenoj povijesti, u radu se nastoji dati opis karizme i djelovanja navedene bratovštine, prikazati njezin unutarnji ustroj, te naposljetku istaknuti njezinu vjersku i socijalnokaritativnu ulogu u hvarskome društvu tijekom kasnog srednjeg i ranoga novog vijeka.
