Sažetak
When writing about the history of mead- and candle-making crafts in
Europe, the author analyzes the origin of the word licitar, and quotes
the information about the beginnings of this craft. Later in the text,
the author discusses the beginning and the development of this craft
in Croatia, the forming of brotherhoods, guilds and craft
associations. As a typical example of the development of
gingerbread and candlemakers, she analyzes the work of the Lukinić
family from the city of Karlovac. It covers the beginnings of the
craft in Karlovac, the arrival of foreign masters of the craft, their
influence on the local population, the development of local crafts
and the founding of the first factory for the making of mead and
candle products in Croatia. A detailed description of wooden moulds
is given, moulds that reflect the age and different style periods, and
which were the basic craftsmen's tools from the very beginnings.
