Abstract

This contribution consists of a transcription and transliteration of the newly-identified Sheet 3 and a photograph of the recto of Sheet 5 of the Charter of the Confraternity of St. Mary on the Hill from 15th century and, given their content, their place in the entirely dismantled original manuscript is ascertained. The Charter of the Confraternity of St. Mary on the Hill from the beginning of 15th century is one of the oldest fraternal charters written in the Croatian language. According to V. Štefanić (1960, 66), the manuscript was found by a priest, Anton Žic, in Draga Bašćanska, and he gave it to Vinko Premuda, who then turned over five sheets of the manuscript to Ivan Milčetić, who wrote the key study on them in 1892, concluding that, among others, the first two sheets were missing. Thereafter all traces of the manuscript were lost, and its sheets were entirely separated. In 2002, D. Žubrinić (2002) discovered two sheets in the M. Schøyen Collection in Oslo (which were sold in 2019 at Christie’s, to the unknown buyer), and in 2019, he identified a hand-written Glagolitic sheet as a part of this manuscript (he called the existing sheets of this manuscript the Batomalj Glagolitic Sheets). The newlyidentified sheet is the property of Dalibor Salopek, and like Sheets 4 and 6, it was formerly owned by Predrag Milovanović. A photograph of the verso of that sheet was published in Milčetić’s study (1892).
