Abstract
On the basis of the decree of Vicko Zmajević (1713–1745), the archbishop of Zadar proclaimed on April 25, 1714, the article discusses the renewal of the cult of St. Zoilus the martyr in Zadar in the 18th century. At that time the general vicar of the Archdiocese of Zadar was Zadar’s own canon priest and writer Ivan Tanzlingher‑Zanotti to whom the archbishop Zmajević entrusted the task to gather relevant information on the historical overview of the veneration of St. Zoilus in Zadar for the purpose of renewing the cult. The gathered documentation is kept in the Archive of the Archdiocese of Zadar. The data that was gathered by the canon priest Ivan Tanzlingher‑Zanotti is a valuable indicator of the understanding of the cult of St. Zoilus in the city of Zadar, even after the official proscription of the Congregation for Liturgy in Rome in 1671. The dana is, therefore, helpful in clearing up some inaccuracies in the previous historiographical contributions on the renewal of the St. Zoilus’ cult in the 18th century. At the end, the author provides a transcript of the report of the canon priest Ivan Tanzlingher‑Zanotti to the archbishop Vicko Zmajević on the cult of St. Zoilus in Zadar.
