PSEUDO-ANIMALISTIC EXAMPLES IN SENJ‘S GLAGOLITIC LENT CALENDAR FROM 1508
ANTONIJA ZARADIJA KIŠ
Abstract
In this research the author concentrated on a little fragment of a very functional religious-educational literature, especially popular in Middle Ages and later. These are examples or egzemplumi, egzempli, eksempli, ižempli or occasions and stories: illuminist literal expression dedicated to common people. These short moralistic educative anecdotes were known as pelde or prispodobe (parables) or fantastic stories ‘fables’. They are the illustrative tools for preaching, i.e. the basic parts of sermons. Rudolf Strohal was the first who occupied himself with collecting them into a Glagolitic collection book and their systematic presentation. We concentrated this study on his basis, extracting examples from Senj’s Lent Calendar from 1508. Amongst them we have especially focused on some of the so-called pseudo-animalistic examples where important places were dedicated to animals.
