Sažetak
This paper addresses and contextualizes the only Calendar ever found from
mediaeval Bosnia (the Parma Apocrypha: Parma, Biblioteca Palatina, Ms. Parm. 1993)
by means of comparative analyses with liturgical calendars of Eastern and Western
Christian provenance, placed in the context of a complex religious situation and a
lack of material. Establishing the connections between the calendars was a two-way
process: on the basis of common feast days, and of the names of saints that occasionally
featured in just a small number of manuscripts. The analysis was also extended to
other, somewhat meagre local sources, both written and painted, such as deeds issued
by rulers and aristocrats (charters and such); the testament of Radin, which also
mentions feast days; marginalia in Hval’s Miscellany; selected glosses of the Vrutočko
Gospel; and illuminated mediaeval manuscripts of Bosnian origin. The conclusions
arising from this study reveal that, despite the prophetic use of the manuscript, the
Calendar was transmitted to this part of the world and transcribed from a liturgical
calendar that served as a model, and that its links with local sources relating to feast
days are more or less evident. The intention was to correlate the celebration of saints
and holy days (even without precise dates) with the Bosnian Church and the religious principles of its members, as to which academic consensus has yet to be reached. This
approach was also prompted by a note in the chronograph of the Parma Apocrypha
manuscript (the 1370 host desecration / “Hula Krstijam”).
