MILITARY CHAPLAINS FROM THE EASTERN ADRIATIC COAST IN THE VENETIAN TERRESTRIAL FORMATIONS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
Lovorka ČORALIĆ - Filip NOVOSEL
Sažetak
Topic of this article is investigation of the activities of military chaplains from the Eastern Adriatic coast in the Venetian terrestrial forces (Fanti oltramarini and Cavalleria Croati or Croati a cavallo) in the eighteenth century. The analysis is based on the primary
archival sources (Inquisitory sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli) preserved in the Venetian state Archives. According to the investigation it seems that majority of the analyzed chaplains served in chivalry, and that most of them were recorded in the period
between 1720 and 1760 and during the last two decades of the eighteenth century. The analyzed chaplains mostly were members of the Franciscan order or secular priests, and they served in companies under command of the officers from Dalmatia and Boka kotorska. Moreover, this analysis has determined their mobility within their companies from the Venetian terrafermo, along the Eastern Adriatic coast (including Istria, Dalmatia and Boka) up to the Venetian emporia in Greece. Authors of the article elaborate in particular two famous chaplains – Ivan Campsi who was Albanian priest and canon of Zadar, and Fra Filip Grabovac who died tragically. In the appendix of the article one can find a complete list of all investigated military chaplains, according to the registers of companies kept within archival fond Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli.
