Abstract
Petrinićev zbornik (Petrinić’s Collection of Papers) from 1503, written in the cursive Glagolitic script, is one of the representatives of Lika’s (in the narrow sense of Buška) Glagolitic handwritten heritage. It consists of various texts in which the Gospels are interpreted, and most of the manuscripts refer to the Croatian translation of the Korizmenjak (book of Lent) of Jacobus de Voragine. At the end of the collection, its scribe/compiler the priest Tomaš Petrinić from Banj Dvor in Bužani leaves a long colophon composed of a quoted passage from the famous moraldidactic tractate The Flower of Virtue and his own comments. Using the example of Petrinić’s colophon, which is analysed for the first time in this paper, the aim is to investigate the relationship of Glagolitic scribes/compilers towards their own creativity. With the establishment of the selfreferential details in the colophon, and in general the connection between the content of the citation and the commentary part, the intention is to show how the priest Tomaš Petrinić with his actions can be partly described as a late mediaeval compiler/scribe.
