Sažetak
The analyses of decorated initials of late thirteenth / fourteenth century Trogir Epistolary and the comparison with two thirteenth century Evangelistaries also preserved in Trogir and written in Beneventan script reveal continuity of usage of initials typical for eleventh century Dalmatian manuscripts written in Beneventan script. These are geometric initials composed from rectangular upper forms divided into compartments and placed on slender vertical shafts and ornamental initials composed from typical Beneventan repertory of forms such as interlacing pattern, pearl ornament and ornamental animal heads. Trogir Epistolary also contains archaic initials with human and animal depictions that depart from the Beneventan tradition. Possible prototypes for these initials from manuscripts written in Carlongian script are suggested as well as one of the possible explanations of conservative features of its decoration.
