Author Description

The book consists of an introductory study of the Osor-Hvar Miscellany (1533), the transcription of the complete texts, and images of the original manuscript, including an analysis of the linguistic features of the text. This text, an example of late medieval or early modern miscellany of religious writing, was composed for practical use by the Franciscans; it brings together liturgy, catechism, folk and artistic poetic and prose text.
