Sažetak
This previously unstudied smaller liturgical book in Cyrillic of unknown provenance is a part of the collection of a writer, historian and ethnologist Vid Vuletić Vukasović (1853-1933), today kept in the Library of the Institute for Historical Sciences of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Dubrovnik. The manuscript contains a total of 93 preserved pages with various parts of liturgical rites of the Eastern Christian (Orthodox) Church. Given its contents, the following name is proposed for the manuscript: “Služabnik iz Zbirke Vida Vuletića Vukasovića” (The Služabnik from the Collection of Vid Vuletić Vukasović).
Palaeographic research presented in this paper aims at drawing attention to certain graphical or linguistic curiosities of the text, and discusses the question of its datation and provenance. The graphical characteristics of the letters which classify the script used in the book as poluustav(semi-uncial) include the lenghtening of weaker letter lines which tend to cross the text line, the usage of certain Greek letters (ksi, psi, theta), and the usage of Greek accents. Morphologically, the letter forms do not feature characteristics or innovations that would represent unusual or unrecorded phenomena. In terms of the relationship between phonemic and graphemic composition, we can identify the features of the so-called Resava orthographic reform⸺increased usage of Greek letters, recording the phoneme [ja] with the letter ain the postvocalic position, writing the letter ̈їin place of the sound / i / in front of / j /, increased usage of Greek accents. On the basis of the mentioned characteristics, the document under study may be roughly dated to the second half of the fifteenth or the first half of the sixteenth century. From which part of the broad area stretching from South Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro to East Herzegovina the manuscript originates is unfortunately unknown, but further investigation of the legacy of Vid Vuletić Vukasović may reveal information on the acquisition of the manuscript.
