GLAGOLITIC FRAGMENTS FROM THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. VID IN OZALJ
Juraj LOKMER
Sažetak
During the restoration of the pavement in the parish church of St. Vid in Ozalj (14th-18thc.) craftsmen found stone artefacts of grave architecture with glagolitic inscription. These fragments, together with the stone plates of the old pavement, were put in the backyard
of the church. Researchers noticed one of these fragments and little later found two more among the stones from the church pavement. The author of this article investigated these heavily damaged fragments and managed to determine name »Hotković«. Hotkovićs were old Croatian kindred that came to Ozalj from Modruš during Ottoman wades. In 1497 they managed to obtain land Vukašin Šipak from count Bernardin Frankapan. During the eighteenth century family Hotković-Peharnik had their tomb (crypt) within the walls of the
parish church of St. Vid in Ozalj. Aforementioned inscription is written with uneven letters, using round and square glagolitic letters that at the end have some elements of cursive scripture. The analysis of the graphemes showed that this inscription could be written in the fi rst half of the sixteenth century. The fragments are temporarily placed in the bell tower, and probably will be presented to the public within the walls of the parish church. These fi ndings corroborate presence of glagolitic scripture in Ozalj, the town that was one of the seas of Frankapan counts and centre of cultural circle around Petar Zrinski and his wife Katarina Frankapan.
