The veneration of Cyril and Methodius among the Croats
Biserka Grabar
Sažetak
The veneration of Cyril and Methodius among the Croats is traceable from their earliest liturgical calendars. Of a total of 32 such calendars, the names of Cyril and Methodius appear jointly in 28 calendars, while in the remaining four we find Cyril's name alone. Four calendars give April 6th as the date of Medthodius' death, whereas one calendar records it on April 4th and another on April 7th. Only Baromić's printed breviary makes explicit the rank of liturgical feast assigned: du(plь) sv(oemu) êz(iku). Cyril's name appears also in the litany of All Saints in the I Novi Breviary.
The author ascribes the absence of mass formularies in honour of Cyril and Methodius in Glagolitic missals to the lack of such formularies in the latin missals from which the Glagolitic copyists made their translations.
Drawing on the known data concerning of the origin of the Office of Cyril and Methodius, and adding to the 11 already known textual sources a twelfth from the Oxford Glagolitic breviary, the author demonstartes that the contamination of Solun (for Salonika) with Solin (in Croatia) in this Office in Mavar's Breviary is not a phenomenon unique to this ofice, but on the contrary there are similar features in other texts, indeed even in Latin ones, and therefore one ought not to explain in solely as a deliberate emendation of a Glagolitic scribe.
The author ends with evidence that the cult of the Holy brothers was known also in the Latin church prior to 1880 when the feast of SS Cyril and Methodius became a universal sollemnity.
