Šekvencije mrtvih – pjesme eshatološke tematike u Klimantovićevim zbornicima

The paper presents a philological analysis of a cycle of eschatological poems intended for use during funeral rites, put on paper by the hand of Friar Šimun Klimantović in his three Miscellanies. A brief analysis of the Medieval conceptualization of death is also presented: conceptual metaphors with death as a target domain are identified in this corpus. Klimantović's Šekvencije mrtvih (Poems of the dead) describe both general and individual eschatological themes: they illustrate the transience and brevity of life (especially of youth and beauty) often through detailed descriptions of the putrefaction of the human body, they describe funeral ceremony, give advice and rules as to the acquisition of eternal life and frighten Christian folk with realistic descriptions of the Judgment Day (Dies Irae). Klimantović's cycle of funeral poems constitutes a complete and well-rounded unit comprising a funeral 'performance' that creatively and exhaustively varies themes and motifs within the limits of the eschatological thematic framework. Living and dead brothers and sisters equally and dynamically participate in this 'performance', as well as the explicit and implicit recipients. Songs were written in the Čakavian ikavian-ekavian dialect of the Old Croatian language, which could be expected given that Klimantović was from Ugljan near Zadar, and worked on Dugi Otok, Rab and Krk. Sporadic Old Church Slavonic characteristics are also recorded in the language of the poems, and they have a stylistic function.
