Sažetak
Four large liturgical chant books, which form a complete antiphoner, belong to the group of codices transported from the Badija Franciscan Monastery near Korčula to the Franciscan Monastery of the Little Brethren in Dubrovnik after World War II. All four manuscripts are written on parchment in the Italian gothic rotunda script in black ink. The Gregorian chants, noted down in the square choral notation of Italian type, are set on a four-line red staff with C- or F-clef.
Even upon the first insight into the contents of these chant books, one can identify the Dominican provenance of this particular antiphoner, which is supported by the specific feasts honouring the Dominican saints together with some other characteristics typical for the Dominican liturgy of the Hours. There are no directly indicated elements of datation. However, paleographic analysis has shown that it is possible to date its origins as being at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century.
The most delicate and, at the same time, the most problematic issues are often connected with the provenance of the manuscript, i.e., the locality where it was in use. As it contains Dominican liturgy, the antiphoner in question must have originated from a monastery other than the Franciscan one on the island of Badija. Taking into account the turbulent history of the Dominicans and Franciscans and their monasteries in Mediaeval Dalmatia (due to the Ottoman-Turkish invasions), and by analyzing some later additions found in the antiphoner, the author puts forward arguments for the view that the antiphoner was being used as early as during the 15th century in one of the Dominican monasteries within the sphere of the influence of the free Republic of Dubrovnik.
The CANTUS index of the entire Dominican antiphoner has been made and will soon be available online (http://publish.uwo.ca/~cantus/index.html).
