Sažetak
The author of the article analyzes the transcription of the inventory of the church of St Sylvester in Zadar that was written in 1694. This inventory at some point was combined with a list of silverware that was composed earlier in 1690. Church of St Sylvester was the seat of the confraternity of the same name. This confraternity had its roots in the thirteenth century, and basically, this is the first documented confraternity of flagellants on the Eastern Adriatic coast. Transcription of the inventory in the church of St Sylvester reveals the inner space of the confraternity’s headquarters. Inventory includes a detailed description of liturgical furnishings, equipment, and attire that indicates the luxury of inner ecclesiastical decorations in Zadar. Moreover, the scrivener, next to the list of the objects, added a description for what purposes were these objects used in the liturgy. Thus, this transcription can be used as a source for investigation of religious life and liturgical practice in Zadar at the end of the seventeenth century. Furthermore, this inventory contains a list of all the tombs that were situated in the church, which helps researchers in better understand burial ceremonies and praxis in the investigated period. Finally, since the confraternity of St Sylvester functioned also as a charitable institution, authors have tried to relate this inventory with the confraternity’s social function and its humane character within the Zadar community in the seventeenth century.
