Abstract
Formerly unknown Old Croatian Latin texts written in Latin medieval codices of St. Francis monastery in Šibenik from 14-15th century are published and linguistically commented in this paper. They include: 'Ten Commandments' ('Božje zapovijedi'), i.e. their theological commentary written by Pavle Šibenčanin (apparently a copy of an older original); unfinished octosyllabic 'Prayer to St. Margaret' ('Molitva sv. Margariti') -most likely a poem in status nascendi and the oldest presently known version of the Croatian poetic translation of Latin funeral sequence Dies irae, known as 'Infuriated judge '... ('Sudac gńivan '... ) which can be found in various Latin and Glagolitic hymn-books and which shows the correlation between Glagolitic and Latin cultural areas. The language of the manuscript is Central-Dalmatian Ikavian Čakavian dialect, whose lexis integrates the manuscript into unique streams of development in Croatian literature.
