„Distracted“ Scribes — or Whom Does the Script Serve? Two Beneventan Fragments from Dalmatia with Genealogy According to Saint Luke

Katarina Livljanić ; Université Sorbonne, Paris, France

Abstract

The article analyzes two fragments with Beneventan notation from Mediaeval Dalmatia. They contain parts or the entire Genealogy of Christ according to St Luke. The source from Trogir provides indications witnessing to the relation with the performance practice and oral tradition of the melodic type. The Rab fragments show a certain number of irregularities and discrepancies between the melodic and text sections, which do not belong to the usual nine-part genealogy melodic type and, therefore, might not have been used in performance.
