Sažetak
The paper investigates the valuable and unique cultural phenomenon, the custom of brgulje, which witnesses the role of overlapping of Croatian Glagolitic Heritage and local traditional culture. First, it explores the etymology of the word brgulje, that is, of the verb briježiti with confirmations and meanings in Croatian Glagolitic manuscripts and dictionaries of local dialects. It has been concluded that brgulja is a Croatian folk word of Proto-Slavic origin, deverbative of the verb
brijeći, namely of the root -brêg-, contrary to some previous assumptions that it is a lexeme of Romanic origin. Furthermore, the paper presents the area of occurrence of the word brgulja, that is, the folk customs which relate to this feast, as well as the confirmation of the word in Croatian toponymy and in writers from the Renaissance to the 19th century. It states the facts connected with the celebration of brgulje in the Dalmatian Hinterland (Croat. Dalmatinska zagora) and
specific characteristics related to this custom in certain places. This paper is a contribution to the knowledge of Glagolitic tradition, as well as to the knowledge of the history of Croatian Glagolitic Heritage and its connection with the Proto-Slavic, Slavonic, and Church Slavonic language.
