Sažetak
In Ivan Berčić’s collection of Glagolitic fragments, which is held at the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg, there is also a fragment of Pseudo-Eusebius’ Epistle to Bishop Damasus upon the Death of St. Jerome. This text is one of the constituent parts of popular late-Mediaeval composition about St. Jerome Vita et Transitus Sancti Hieronymi. The fragment, which dates from the 15th century, has ten parchment sheets on which text is written in two columns. The fragment came to Berčić’s collection from Sukošan near Zadar. The paper analyzes the linguistic features of the fragment and attempts to determine the language of the exemplar from which the text was translated. Based on the comparison of the Croatian Glagolitic text with the Latin and (Old) Czech text of the epistle, it is shown that the Croatian Glagolitic text was translated from the Czech. The linguistic features of the Croatian Glagolitic text are described on the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical levels, and Church Slavonic and Croatian (Čakavian) linguistic features are identified. Based on the attested vernacularisms, it is argued that the fragment originated in the northwestern akavian region. The text of the fragment is published in a Latin transliteration in the appendix to the paper.
