Sažetak
Dubrovnik Republic, the Serbian author M. Pantić was led astray by
the frequent and very precise regulations issued by the Dubrovnik
authorities concerning the persons disguised as Jews during Easter
time. Searching for similar phenomena, he copied some Carnival
data from the famous book about the origins of the Italian theatre
written by P. Toschi, and ascribed them to the Dubrovnik Easter of
the 14th century. Pantić applied Toschi's term in Italian, guidata, to
the fabricated Easter scene of torturing a Jew on a cart, though there
was no justification for doing so. Toschi describes the evolution of
guidata from the grotesque and cruel Carnival scene to the elaborated
theatrical genre in the 19th century. Pantić's mystification misled S.
P. Novak into taking the invented torture as a historical fact, and it
was later taken for granted by I. Lozica. In this paper, however, he
tries to correct his own mistake and to offer a new interpretation of
the Easter masks in the Dubrovnik of the past.
