Igor Šipić
Sažetak
This work presents supplementary information on the role of the cult of St. Lucy, its spatial
and chronological spread over the eastern Adriatic coast and symbolism published in this source
scientific paper "The cult of St. Lucy in strong maritime communities of the eastern Adriatic". In
this sense they cultivate new knowledge which supports the basic research results with the
emphasis on the affiliation to the votive group of saints, who are regularly worshipped in littoral
regions of outstanding maritime characteristics, primarily on the eastern Adriatic, and spread
throughout the Mediterranean and oceans.
Also for the first time in Croatian historiography it provides information on the islets of
Korčula's waters which the Venetian geographer Camutio appointed Forcha (gallows) on his map
from 1574.
