VICKO ZMAJEVIĆ' SERMONS
Vanda Babić
Abstract
Vicko Zmajević (1670-1745) is undoubtedly an exceptional, harmonious and strong personality who worked in various social backgrounds which followed and complemented each other in his works. All he did, wrote about and stood for benefited Croatian people and the Catholic church. Razgovor Duhovni (Spiritual
conversation) is a collection of sermons written by Zmajević between 1682 and 1685, as a twelve-year-old boy. The original is kept in the Perast parish archives and it is Zmajević's only work written in the Croatian language. All his sermons possess a baroque poetic qualitis, quotations, metaphors and anthiteses, while the graphic picture confirms the unity of Boka Kotorska with the
Croatian spiritual enviornment. The author places Zmajević's sermons in the frame of baroque sermon literature thus revealing the so-far inadequately researched Zmajević's collection.
