Abstract
The paper presents the life and education of the Glagolitic priest Ive Čubanov Vlahić (cca 1733 – 25 July 1803), his activity in the parish through fraternities, sermons, et altera. Father Ive Vlahić descends from a distinguished family from Sutomišćica on the island of Ugljan. He received quality education studying with the parish priest, the Franciscan Tertiaries on the nearby islet of Galevac, and probably at Zmajević’s junior seminary in Zadar. It is evident from his writings that he had knowledge of the Croatian and Italian languages and wrote in the Latin and Glagolitic scripts. Father Ive Vlahić was an expert in his field and the Church administration; he liked to engage himself in many other fields (law, economy, even folk medicine) in order to provide help to his parishioners; he further translated various documents from Italian and interpreted them to the people; he kept fraternity books, wrote invoices and last wills, and represented the population before Church and civil authorities. He wrote all his sermons himself, which proves his quality education; he further wrote poems and other notes in codices such as folk medicine books. Famous is also his book of sermons (18 fol.), in safekeeping at the Archdiocesan Archives in Zadar. This paper proves that the preserved parts of five Glagolitic sermons, which had until recently been considered anonymous, in safekeeping at the Archives of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, were written by Father Ive Vlahić.
