A NEW EXPRESSION OF PATHOS AND THE PARADIGM OF SALVATION. THE MIRACULOUS CRUCIFIX IN ST. VITUS CATHEDRAL IN RIJEKA

U tekstu se raspravlja o drvenom raspelu iz katedrale sv. Vida u Rijeci. Raspelo pripada skupini raspela s bolnim Kristom, čiji se nastanak vezuje uz 13. stoljeće, a tipologija uz umjetnost središnje i sjeverne Europe, odakle se krajem 13. stoljeća i u 14. stoljeću proširila cijelim europskim prostorom. Raspelo nosi apelativ ‘čudotovorno’ i vezano je uz predaju koja ga povezuje s tzv. krvarećim raspelima (ili ‘slikama’), koja bilježe snažno djelovanje unutar vjerničkih zajednica diljem kršćanskoga svijeta. Tekst donosi nove spoznaje o razvoju ikonografske teme, kritičko čitanje povijesnih dokumenata i sekundarnih izvora te otvara pitanja o značenju raspela unutar zajednice, ali i o njegovoj vrijednosti kao povijesnog izvora za poznavanje prilika u srednjovjekovnoj Rijeci.The authors discuss a wooden crucifix from the St. Vitus Cathedral in Rijeka. The crucifix belongs to a group of crucifixes representing the suffering Christ (Christus patiens) – an iconographic interpretation of the Crucifixion that had developed within the 13th century art in central and northern Europe, from where it spread to the whole Europe at the end of the 13th and in the 14th century. Its appellative ‘miraculous’ is associated with a legend which connects it with the so-called bleeding crucifixes (or ‘images’) that had had a significant impact on the communities of faithful throughout the Christian world. The text introduces new insights on the development of this iconographic theme, offers a critical reading of historical documents and secondary sources, and raises questions about the importance of the crucifix within the urban community, as well as its value as a historical source for unveiling the life circumstances in medieval Rijeka

Scripta in honorem Igor Fisković: zbornik povodom sedamdesetog rođendana

The International Research Centre for Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages prepared a Festschrift in honour of one of its founders, Igor Fisković on the occassion of his 70th birthday. The Festschrift  includes works addressing the periods that Igor Fisković has dealt with most, thus reflecting the diversity of his interests, ranging from Late Antiquity to contemporary art, with key emphasis on the Late Middle Ages and early modernity. Due to the diversity and the broad period of time the texts are covering, they have been arranged more or less chronologically. The works focus mainly on the Late Middle Ages and the early modern period, Fisković’s forte and the topic of some of his best writings. There are also several texts addressing the baroque period, which was not one of the honouree’s interests, but they were written by some of his closest friends and members of the generation of his former students who have had prestigious careers. (from the Foreword)Zbornik je pripredio Međunarodni istraživački centar za kasnu antiku i srednji vijek povodom sedamdesetog rođendana jednog od svojih osnivača Igora Fiskovića. Zbornik obuhvaća radove koje pokrivaju razdoblja kojima se Igor Fisković ponajviše bavio, reflektirajući raznolikost njegovih interesa, od početne kasne antike i suvremene umjetnosti, do ključnoga naglaska na kasnom srednjem vijeku i početku modernog doba. Zbog te raznolikosti i širokog vremenskog razdoblja koje pokrivaju, radovi su poredani manje-više kronološki. Ističe se brojem radova upravo kasnosrednjovjekovno doba i početci modernoga, forte u kojem je Igor Fisković dao svoje ponajbolje radove. Uz njih je i više priloga koji pokrivaju razdoblje baroka, kojim se slavljenik nije bavio, no koji su iz pera njegovih najbliskijih prijatelja i one generacije njegovih bivših studenata koji su danas ostvarili ugledne karijere.
