MARK ANTONY DE DOMINIS AND SPLIT IN THE TRAVELOGUE BY JOHN MASON NEALE
Tamara Tomić Grčić
Sažetak
In 1860. John Mason Neale, Anglican priest and scientist, started his voyage through Istria, Dalmatia, Croatia and Montenegro, and as a result he published his book Notes, Ecclesiological and Picturesque, on Dalmatia, Croatia, Istria, Styria, with a visit to Montenegro,
in London, 1961. This paper gives the translation of the end of the VIIth chapter, concerning Neale’s travel from Šibenik to Split, and the whole VIIIth chapter, concerning Split and Mark Antony De Dominis. Corrections, explanations and comments of the author are also given as notes at the end of the text.
Since Neale was a priest and a theologist, and he was mostly interested in the history oft he Eastern church, his attention was set mainly on the history of church in this area. In the first and biggest part of the VIIIth chapter, he is mostly interested in famous theologist and scientist M. A. De Dominis, the archbishop of Split in the 17th century. Neale gives us the story about De Dominis, based mostly on Farlati’s work Illyricum Sacrum. De Dominis was
famous, especially in England, because he had left Chatolic church and escaped to England.
He wrote his monumental work De Republica Ecclesiastica, which was first published in London. After some time spent in England, he decided to return to Rome, where he was put on trial and eventually died in prison. Second part of the chapter gives us insight into the most important monuments of Split. Descriptions of those monuments are mostly based on two books about Dalmatia and Split,
written by two other English writers who had visited Split before Neale. The first book is Dalmatia and Montenegro: with a journey to Mostar in Herzegovina and remarks on the slavonic nations... written by J. Gardner Wilkinson, and the second one is Ruins of the palace of the emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia written by Robert Adam.
In the third and last part of the chapter, Neale gives us a short description of the history, nature, and monuments of the island Čiovo. There are many mistakes and misconceptions found in the text, and all of them have been corrected and presented as the notes at the end of the text. The original names of the places used by Neale are also given and commented in those notes.
