Sažetak
The author analyses the Epistles of Dobrila, written from the 1858 to 1882, the contents of the epistles (the values Dobrila promoted in his epistles) and the stylistic dimension (the style of transmission of the messages). After introductory annotations on the brief biographical notes, the messages delivered directly from Dobrila to his faithful are analyzed, in four sections: 1. The connection or inseparability of faith/religion and moral; 2. The connection or inseparability of faith and knowledge and education and formation; 3. The connection or inseparability of people and clergy; 4. The capability for discernment of the signs of time, i.e. listening to the “spirit of the
time”.Beside these direct, the article reports the indirect messages, intelligible from his style, the choice of themes, frequently used quotations, words, etc. In the final part, the author compares the profile of Dobrila emerging from the epistles with his other activities and everyday life relations, according to his biographers, concluding that the epistles are fully understandable only with a deep knowledge of his life and actions, through which he stood for the rights of the common people of Istria. Although some researchers of his personality and his opus think of him as of a conservative priest, the author thinks that through his progressive ideas and concepts, Dobrila is closer to the moderately liberal priests.
