Sažetak
Several Glagolitic fragments on parchment which have served as covers to books printed during the XVIth and XVIIth century were discovered in Pazin (Istria, Croatia) in the Franciscan monastery which belongs to St. Jerome’s Franciscan Province in Zadar (Provincia Franciscana s. Hieronymi). The author has found out that some of them belong to the famous Pazin fragments kept in the Archives of the Croatian Academy of Sciencies and Arts (call no. Fragm. glag. 90) dated at the beginning of the XIVth century.
In this article, the author presents the results of her study of the newly found Pazin fragments and shows that they, as well as the already known ones, were also removed from the book covers, some have eaten wormholes, some are smeared with red or green, in some parts they are illegible. They are written in two columns by 27 rows. Paleography and language of the newly found fragments coincide with the paleography and language of the already known Pazin fragments. They contain parts of the Gospel according to Nicodemus
(parts of the chapters I-V and IX in the Tischendorf’s division), part of the Church Slavonic Passion of St. Anastasia of Sirmium (Sirmi Anastasia) and part of the popular apocrypha of the Apostle Andrew and Mathew among the cannibals (Acts of Andrew and Matthew in the city of cannibals, parts of chapters XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX and XXI).
The author presents these texts in the Latin transliteration. The unreadable parts of the Gospel according to Nicodemus are reconstructed in brackets [ ] from the Nicodemus’ Gospel published by Vaillant in 1968. Discovery of more Pazin fragments reinforces the hypothesis put forward by Štefanić, who had described the previously known Pazin fragments, that they belong to an apocryphal-legendary miscellany, because in the newly found Pazin fragments another legend (Passion of St. Anastasia) and another apocrypha (Acts of Andrew and Matthew in the city of cannibals) are recorded.
The newly discovered Glagolitic fragments also support the Štefanić’s hypothesis that the Pazin fragments, compared with the corresponding texts in other, especially Cyrillic manuscripts, point to their »very old templates, which are certainly linked to the Old Slavic and perhaps even the Moravian period.« Discovery of the Church Slavonic Glagolitic text of the legend about St. Anastasia, though very defective and damaged, can help to clarify issues of the original Slavic translation of that legend whose new critical edition is being prepared in Prague.
