Sažetak
Worship of Saint Martin the Bishop on the Istrian Peninsula represents an important segment in the research of European tradition of Saint Martin. Istrian St. Martin’s particularity is highlighted within the Glagolitic cultural milieu, which is the most prominent in the centre of Glagolitic Istria, in Beram on which we are going to focus in this work. The paper will evoke the significance of a very old legend about the virtuous Martin as a possible resource for a better understanding of St. Martin’s cult in Beram.
A special attention will be given to the preserved Beram Glagolitic St. Martin’s heritage in the Beram Breviary. It deals with a minute reading on the Saint’s day, November 11, within the Sanctoral and after that with the unique hymn to the glory of St. Martin the Bishop in Beram or Ljubljana Breviary from the end of the 14th or the beginning of the 15th century. To the literary confirmations of spirituality connected to St. Martin, St. Martin statuary and pictorial heritage is added, which is connected to the parish church of St. Martin which continually to this day vividly promotes St. Martin’s tradition in Beram.
With this paper the author wishes to point out the significance of Beram as the strongest center of Istrian Glagolitic tradition of St. Martin which should be revalorized and revitalized in its entirety within the context of the European cultural route of the Council of Europe St. Martin, European, the symbol of sharing, common values.
