Sažetak
The analysis of The legend of twelve Fridays have been done within the context of the religious culture and the Medieval aesthetics, with an emphasis on characteristics in the text and with an aim of pointing out its beauty and value. The characteristics that were primarily studied were stylistic and compositional, thematic – motivational, and language characteristics. The brilliant composition which is perfectly harmonized with the idea, in reference to the morality of the text and which was built on important medieval symbols, the circle and the cross, particularly stands out. Furthermore, the choice of words and the word and grapheme order also stand out, revealing, at first sight hidden layers of the Legend and remarkable symbolism of the text, therefore, the expression which is in harmony with the content of the text. It is also important to mention the original characterization and psychology of the characters; skilful and relevant interweaving of genres which the author uses as one of the ways to show completeness and comprehensiveness; “the game” of playing with letters, words and their meanings, as well as other characteristics which are not random, of examples and comparisons with transcripts of The legend of twelve Fridays from other glagolitic and cyrillic sources also testify. All this brings light to the unquestionable value of the studied text and the author’s conscious need to write his work as something more than a mere record, transcript, pragmatic text or something similar; instead, his work was intended to be an original work of high artistic value.
