Nove spoznaje o nekim ranokršćanskim dijecezama na istočnojadranskim prostorima

U radu se prezentiraju rezultati istraživanja ranokršćanskih dijeceza na prostorima koji su se nalazili u sastavu nekadašnje rimske provincije Dalmacije. Došlo se do spoznaje da Delminijska biskupija - koja se kroz stručnu literaturu provlači od Danijela Farlatija (1690.-1773.) nije postojala, da su se središta osam dijeceza nalazila u istočnojadranskim urbanim središtima (Salonitanske, Jadertinske, Arbenske, Epitaurske, Kataritanske, Skardonitanske, Senijske i Mukuritanske). Središta triju biskupija bila su u mjestima koja su se nalazila na magistralnoj cesti Akvileja – Konstantinopol u bližem istočnojadranskom zaleđu (Naronitanske, Sarsenterske, Ludrumske). Samo je središte Bestoenske bilo u unutrašnjosti u naselju koje je bilo na magistralnoj cesti Salona – Argentarija

Dalmacija; ranokršćanske dijeceze; nove spoznaje

The intensive study of sources as well as the results of archaeological and other research throughout the last twenty years have resulted in new knowledge about the Early Christian dioceses in the eastern Adriatic regions, their sees and the jurisdictions of their bishops (Fig. 1). For example, it has come to light that the Delminian diocese (Delminiensis ecclesia), introduced to the scientific literature by Daniele Farlati (1690.-1773.), never even existed. This was in fact presented as a historical fact to Farlati by some Franciscans from the Bosnia Argentina province because of disputes with the Archbishops of Split about jurisdiction over the Duvno diocese, founded at the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th centuries. The Delminian bishop was identified as one of the administrators of the Papal estates in Dalmatia (rector patrimonii in Dalmatia) at the end of the 6th century, whose see was somewhere in the broad Salonitan area. It has further been established that neither the Mactaritan (ecclesia Mactaritana) nor the Baloien dioceses (ecclesia Baloiensis) existed, mentioned in this form in some codexes of the acts of the Salonitan Metropolitan Councils held in 530 and 533.
