Abstract

This master thesis speaks of the creation of collection of Glagolitic documents called Acta Croatica, from the process of Kukuljević's collection of the material to the reason why it was published precisely in 1863. What started with Kukuljević in the case of Croatian historiography is the result of general spiritual, political and other types of movements in the 19th century, not only in Croatia. The research subject of this work are documents dated until the year 1500 in Kukuljević's Acta Croatica (144 documents). According to the structure of these documents, we divided them as following: letters; judicial reports; testaments; princes', archdioceses', and court documents, and documents from public notaries. The differences and similarities between them are emphasized many times in this work, as is their relationship with Latin sources because of comparison. This work provides insight into comparative development of public notaries, and,especially, of chancellery (register) of princes, archdioceses and courts, both in the Glagolitic script (Croatian language), as in the Latin letters (Latin language). Therefore, it is not unusual for certain terms in specific formulas in documents and the overall form of the document to be similar. It is important that both the publisher, and the receiver of the document understand and have the insight into the content of the document itself. Also, this master thesis emphasizes the importance and the contribution of Acta Croatica as authentic data in historiography and linguistics. Historical sources written in Glagolitic script still have potential for their use in scientific work, both in History, as well as in other Humanities and Social Sciences.
