Sažetak
The monumental Romanesque doors on the Split Cathedral – the work of Master Andrija Buvina from 1214 were restored in 1908. The key figures in the renovation of the Buvina doors were a technician and teacher at the Wood Processing School in the Czech town of Chrudim – Anton Švimberský, and Max Dvořák who was an art historian and the Chief Conservator of the Second Department of the Imperial and Royal Central Commission (predecessor of the Austrian Federal Conservation Institute). Dvořák developed renovation guidelines that respected the principle of preservation of the age value as described by Alois Riegl. Švimberský, an expert for wood processing of his time, treated the Romanesque doors as a wooden object still in function. His renovation work in which he was able to complete within a few months, didn't really comply with today's contemporary standards of conservation, however it did indeed stop the deterioration. The renovation of one of the most important artefacts of medieval Dalmatian sculpture and a well known monument on a European scale, had a decisive effect with the preservation of the old Diocese Palace, also on the sway of the principles of the Central-European conservation movement in Split and in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the first dacade of the 20th century.
