Abstract
In the Zadar area in the past, we find several priestly brotherhoods, a bit more lay (religious and craft), and a bit fewer priestly ones. Most of these fraternities have not been dealt with so far. Their number, goals and tasks, but also the period of activity are not precisely defined. At the beginning of the article, the number of priestly brotherhoods in the Zadar area is determined. In Zadar, we find eight priestly brotherhoods, on the islands there were six, and on the mainland four. The article will place particular emphasis on the island brotherhood of the Lord's Supper from Ugljan, its goals and tasks based on the Glagolitic madricula recently found in Trieste. The association was founded (or renewed) in 1617. The members of this fraternity were priests from the northwestern part of the island of Ugljan, primarily from the towns of Ugljan, Lukoran, Sutomišćica, Poljana and Preko and in part priests from the islands of Olib, Molat, Iž, Premuda, Silba, Vir and the northwestern part of Dugi Otok. The madricula comprises 31 chapters, lists of priestly brothers, and a small number of lay people (mostly landowners, landlords, village heads, and captains). Two archbishops of Zadar and one bishop of Skradin, a native of Zadar, were also members of the fraternity. The last records date back to 1816. A group of the priests whose Glagolitic collections of texts have been preserved to this day also belonged of this brotherhood.
