Sažetak
In present day Croatia, Saint Jerome has a special place among the national saints. His role as the patron saint of Croatia and of the humanists was in the focus of research. But there has been no detailed study about the development of his cult in Dalmatia. This thesis will deal with the formation of the regional cult of the saint through the three phases of development: the implementation of the Slavic cult, the transformation of the humanist cult in the fifteenth century and the ethnic appropriation of the Saint in the writings of the Dalmatian humanists in the sixteenth century. Based on archival material and artworks preserved in Trogir and Dubrovnik, the focus of this study is on the manifestations of the worship in these two cities. These manifestations are observed through the perspective of the private and official worship, identifying the major promoters of the cult and commissioners of the art depicting Saint Jerome: the Cipiko and Sobota families in Trogir and the Gozze and Gradi families in Dubrovnik. The major contribution of this work is the interpretation of the regional cult of Saint Jerome in the light of the establishment of Venetian rule in the Dalmatian communes after 1409. This study explains how the implementation of the centralized government and the restriction of the autonomy of the Dalmatian communes contributed to the formation of the notion of togetherness on the territory of Dalmatia, expressed through the figure and the patronage of Saint Jerome.
