ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT DEVOTION OF CRAFTSMEN FROM SPLIT IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY
Tonija ANDRIĆ
Sažetak
This article is continuation of previous research on devotion of craftsmen from late medieval Split. Author has analyzed 38 last wills and one codicil dating from the period between 1436 and 1467. On the basis of quantitative and qualitative approaches she has
investigated various forms of craftsmen devotion that can be found in their last wills. To be more precise, their bequests mostly consisted of celebration of mass for the soul of the deceased and their antecessors, but one can find also specific prayers that had to be said
by a priest at the moment when testator’s soul steps in the afterlife. Besides, one of the most popular expressions of devotion was pilgrimage, but not many people could perform such an expensive and dangerous act of piety during their lives. Therefore, testamentary
legacies of craftsmen from Split often included money that had to be spent on pilgrimage to save the soul of testator. At the end, author analyzes testamentary legacies related to Christian funerals, since this was also an important aspect of late medieval devotion.
