ST. ROKO’S (ROCCO) BROTHERHOOD AT SPLIT IS 540 YEARS OLD

Abstract
The renewed matricula of St. Roko’s Brotherhood at Split from 1762 refers to the old matricula from 1451, unfortunately not preserved. The 1762 manuscript has been preserved both in the official language of the Republic of Venice and in the Croatian vernacular. Particular attention should be paid to the latter as it is a linguistic document of the Split’s Croatian linguistic milieu at the time of the Venetian government and the official Italian language.
The author compares this matricula with the renewed St. Mihovil’s (Michael) brotherhood matricula in the City (Grad) written also in 1762 in both languages by the same scribes. Most of the rules in the books of regulations are identical or similar. They make it possible to study the origin of the variants in the Split books of regulations.
Enclosed in the book of rules of St. Roko’s brotherhood from 1947, which is the only one of the Split brotherhoods issued in the post-war period when the brotherhoods as lay associations of citizens were not welcome.
