St. Donnino and Archdeacon Thomas of Split

Milan Ivanišević

Sažetak

This study based on the work by Archdeacon Thomas of Split,
Historia Salonitanorum atque Spalatinorum pontificum (III, 3) is
dedicated to finding his sources. In the discussion on the oldest
manuscript (KAS, 623), S. Gunjača’s conclusion on the impossibility
of Thomas writing the text himself is not accepted, while O. Perić’s
analysis of the authenticity of the author’s handwriting in the
manuscript is, as is V. Brown’s conclusion on the possibility that
Thomas wrote in two hands, thus claiming that the manuscript
contains the author’s own handwriting. The notes to the Russian
(Moscow, 1997) and Croatian translations (Split, 2003) are corrected.
Previous study of the relationship between the Life (Passio) of St.
Domnio and St. Donnino (Farlati, Saxer, Babić) is cited, and certain
inaccuracies (Saxer) are pointed out. Also cited is the Life (Passio)
and hymns of St. Donnino published by the Bollandists, because
the old manuscripts of these works may have been used by Thomas
as sources for his writing on the saint. Thomas’s text is compared
to the text of the Acta Sanctorum. The reverence of St. Donnino in
Fidenza (Borgo San Donnino) is described, as is the arrangement,
iconographic content and inscriptions in this saint’s church, because
Thomas could have seen them during his stay in Italy. There is also a
brief interpretation of the author’s assessment of Thomas’s actions
that led to the emergence of two saints named Domnius in Salona
