Mali Nauk krstjanski fra Matije Divkovića
Small Nauk krstjanski by Matija Divković

Summary/Abstract: Nauk krstjanski s mnozijemi stvari duhovnijemi i vele bogoljubnijemi, a work by the Bosnian Franciscan friar Matija Divković (1563–1631), published in Venice in 1616. Divković’s work is particularly important from the literary-historical point of view, because it contains an anthology of texts (described in the title as many spiritual matters): several miracle and mistery play, lamentations, songs etc. Although their sources haven’t been established yet, they are evidently related to the literature of Dubrovnik and Dalmatia from the Middle Ages to the end of 16th century. This added corpus of literary texts was undoubtedly the main reason for the immense popularity of Divković’s work in all Croatian regions during the 17th century, also testified by the fact that it was published in more than twenty editions.
