The Zadar Builder Vidul Ivanov and His Sons
Emil Hilje
Sažetak
The builder Vidul Ivanov from Zadar is mentioned in a hundred archival documents which confirm that during the second quarter of the 15th century he was the most employed and the most esteemed master-builder in Zadar. Documents concerning his activity prove that during two decades he was engaged in the building and the completion of the chapel of St. Simon next to the church of St. Mary the Great and in the building and the completion of its belfry. Furthermore, during an extended period of time, he did different work on the monastery and church of St. Francis and on the Episcopal complex. Alongside these engagements which lasted for some time, his work on the churches of St. Nicholas and the church of the Holy Salvation in Zadar and on the church of St. Mary in Bribir have also been documented. In addition to sacral buildings, Vidul worked on private houses, however documents pertaining to this are not as abundant but one can assume that they were more extended than the preserved testimony has recorded. His importance and his role as a protomaster is testified to by documents which reveal that he was an estimator of the work of other builders and that he cooperated with a number of them on completing certain tasks. Vidul’s sons, Nikola, Juraj, Jakov, Frane and Antun continued their father’s work and during the second half of the 15th century played a significant role in the building trade in Zadar.
