Fragments of Parchment Codices on the Covers of Old Books.

Anica Vlašić-Anić, PhD, is a scholar who comes from the Old Church Slavonic Institute in Zagreb. She will present (in part with a Slide Show) her latest discoveries in the libraries of the Capuchin monasteries in Croatia: the FgCapVla collection, which was found in Varaždin, Rijeka and Karlobag. These are three remarkable collections of parchment fragments containing Croatian Glagolitic, Latin, Ancient Greek and Hebrew-Aramaic codices from the 13th to the 15th centuries – that have for hundreds of years served as protective covers for books, material for book-binding or patches for damaged leaves of printed books from the 15th to the 18th centuries. Starting with the enthusiasm, joy and inspiration that she experienced while conducting her research and scholarly work, she will pay special attention to (1) the cultural-historical aspects of avant-garde-pioneer ‘jeans quest’ (see A. Flaker, Jeans Prose, 1983) for Glagolitsa in the libraries of Capuchin monasteries, (2) the problems of restoration and conservation of all the parchments and books they were discovered on, (3) the results of the palaeographic and linguistic analyses of some fragments analysed so far (Croatian Glagolitic and Hebrew-Aramaic), (4) the exhibition co-authored by Vlašić-Anić and Sabalić: “The fragments from the Life of the Capuchins: for the 400th anniversary of the OFM Capuccinorum in Rijeka and Croatia” (Rijeka, 15 October – 25 December 2010). Objectives of the Lecture: 1. To widen the notions of the complex cultural-historical importance and extreme value of the newly-found fragments of parchment codices on the bindings of old books, especially those found so far – which represent not only Croatian, but also European and even world cultural heritage. 2. To present the creative applicability, primarily of joyful experiences of scholarly work and research as well as of the enthusiasm brought on by their results, in the field of culture (cooperation in the organisation of an exhibition of restored fragments and books).
