Reading titles of the Croatian Glagolitic texts: some open questions of genre classification

Marija-Ana Dürrigl

Abstract

Titles and headings of prose texts in medieval manuscripts, particularly in so-called miscellany codices (“zbornici”), pose a number of questions important for the generic analysis of Croatian Glagolitic written tradition. They contain terms, which can pertain to the subject matter, the form or the intent of the given works. It is possible to deduce from titles which genre or kind a given text belongs to, but more often such indications are missing. The relation of titles (headings, rubrics) and texts is yet to be thoroughly studied with the aim of a generic systematization of Croatian Glagolitic prose.

Keywords

Croatian Glagolitic prose; title terms; genre theory; literary kinds
