Sažetak
In this article the author follows the text Passio Sancti Pollionis et Aliorum Martyrum as it made its way through the written culture from the minutes of a Roman judiciary process, which was written by hand on a parchment in 304, through transcriptions of the passion for liturgical needs of the early Christian community in the second half of the 4th century and its inclusion in manuscript books and collections, which were made in scriptoriums of Christian monastery (for example, Jerome’s Martyrology), all the way to the passion that has been printed in books and martyrologies by the printing press (such as Roman Martyrology [1586], Theodoric Ruinart’s Acta Primorum Martyrum [1689], etc.), which have a greater impact on the reception of the passion by being available to a greater number of readers, and, finally, to digital editions on CDs and in digital databases, which are fast and available at any time and in any place to all internet users.The text of Polion’s passion is examined in the written culture from letters to printed and digital ways of communication and in the culture of memory from 304 until the present day. The article concludes that, notwithstanding the medium of communication, the narrative form has been (and still is) the guardian of cultural and religious identity, which allowed continuity in the transmission of cultural and spiritual values of the early Christian community to the present age, in no small part due to the cultural memory.
