On 6 June 2024, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) hosted a presentation of the Latin transliteration of another 16th<\/sup>-century masterpiece of Croatian Glagolitic heritage<\/a>, which the Library published with the support of the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Youth<\/a> and\u00a0Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing closer to researchers as well as the general public one of the works originally printed by the historic printing house in Senj, the cradle of the Croatian Glagolitic printing tradition, the transliteration was published by the Library as a result of its cooperation with the University of Zagreb\u2019s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an introductory address by the Zagreb University<\/a> Library Affairs Assistant to the NSK Director General Dr Dijana Machala, the transliteration was presented by the Head of the Section for Old Church Slavonic and Croatian Glagolitic Heritage at the Faculty\u2019s Department of Croatian Language and Literature and Deputy Head of the Department Associate Professor Tanja Ku\u0161tovi\u0107, consulting editors Assistant Professor at the Department of Croatian Language and Literature of the University of Osijek\u2019s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences<\/a> Vera Bla\u017eevi\u0107 Krezi\u0107 and Senior Scientific Associate at the Zagreb Faculty Dr Sandra Po\u017ear and the transliteration\u2019s editors the Zagreb Faculty\u2019s Assistant Professor Ivana Eterovi\u0107 <\/a>and Juraj Matej Kova\u010d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digitisation facilitating research and the preservation of heritage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOwing to its Latin transliteration being made available, this valuable work of Croatia\u2019s Glagolitic heritage will from now on more easily lend itself to in-depth analyses and comprehensive evaluations. We are glad that the students at the Faculty\u2019s Department of Croatian Language and Literature, who under the supervision of the Assistant Professor Eterovi\u0107 did a great job in preparing the transliteration\u2019s first draft, largely relied on the original\u2019s digital copy<\/a> available on the Library\u2019s Croatian Glagolitic Heritage website<\/a>. Developed by the Croatian Institute for Librarianship\u2019s Croatian Digital Library Development Division, the website thus once again fulfilled its purpose,\u201d said Dr Machala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A treasure from the cradle of the Croatian Glagolitic printing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Printed at the very beginning of the 16th<\/sup> century (1507\/08), the work (Me\u0161trija dobra umrtija<\/a><\/em>) was the Croatian translation in the Croatian Glagolitic script of Ars bene moriendi<\/em>, or \u201cThe Art of Dying\u201d, a popular book genre of the medieval period thematising the Church rituals performed in relation to administering the last rites to a dying Christian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of its only two surviving copies in the world is preserved as part of the NSK Manuscripts and Old Books Collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organised as part of the 2022\/23 programme of one of the courses at the Zagreb Faculty\u2019s Department of Croatian Language and Literature, the transliteration\u2019s first stage was conducted by students Barbara Ergovi\u0107, Paola Grgi\u0107, Petra Ivani\u0161evi\u0107, Margareta Klimpak, Ivana Krapi\u0107, Marta Kujavi\u0107, Nina Slavena Mijatovi\u0107, Anamarija Mrkonji\u0107 and Mihaela Pavi\u0107, whose transliteration draft was then copyedited and proofread by Assistant Professor Eterovi\u0107 and Juraj Matej Kova\u010d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
