Late Antiquity and medieval stone monuments from Petar Zoranić Square in Zadar

Abstract

O ostatcima ranosrednjovjekovne crkve na Trgu Petra Zoranića, koja se povezuje sa, iz arhivske građe poznatom, crkvom sv. Petra od Vitla, pisano je u više navrata. Ovom prilikom objedinjuju se dosada pronađeni objavljeni i neobjavljeni kasnoantički i ranosrednjovjekovni kameni spomenici pronađeni u crkvi i njezinoj blizini. Obrađeni ulomci uspoređuju se s poznatim istovrsnim spomenicima te se ukazuje na povezanost dijela kamenog namještaja i arhitektonske dekoracije crkve sv. Petra od Vitla s namještajem koji je koncem 8. i početkom 9. stoljeća izrađivala „Radionica pluteja zadarske katedrale“. Ponovno se osvrće na problematiku datiranja sarkofaga reklauza Jurja i moguću povezanost ove crkve s građevinskim djelatnostima koje je u Zadru koncem 8. i početkom 9. stoljeća provodio biskup Donat.Several authors wrote about the remains of the early medieval church in Petar Zoranić Square, associated with the Church of St. Peter of the Windlass, known from the archives. This paper consolidates the published and unpublished Late Antiquity and early medieval stone monuments found in the church and its vicinity. The fragments discussed here are compared with wellknown identical monuments; the paper indicates that part of the stone furnishings and architectural decorations in the Church of St. Peter of the Windlass can be connected with the furnishings made by the Zadar Cathedral Chancel Panel Workshop in the late 8th and early 9th centuries. The paper also addresses the problem of dating of the sarcophagus of Georgius the Recluse and possible links between this church and the new structures built in Zadar by Bishop Donatus in the late 8th and early 9th centuries
