Преписивачка делатност у манастирима Kарловачке митрополије у 18. веку (Serbian)

Although it was not typical for the rest of Europe in the 18 th century, copying was still present in Serbian monasteries of that time, including those on the territory of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci. This was caused by the lack of a stable market in the fi eld of printed books, the content shortcomings of new Russian books, and the lack of fi nancial resources. It was not rare that due to that fact even books of theology, which were imported from Russia massively, especially in the fi rst half of the century, were copied. Copying the services for Serbian saints that did not exist in the new Russian books, as well as the national biographical and historiographical literature, from the biography of Saint Sava to the Chronicles of Count Georgi Branković, was the characteristic of the Serbian monasteries. The monks testify to their attachment to modern trends by frequently copying the works of academic Russian theology of the 17th and 18 th centuries, which represent the standard educational literature of that period. Russian culture was also a mediator between the Serbian and West European cultures, so the books of non-Orthodox authors were copied in Russian translations as well. The emergence of a new school system with the Serbs after the Russian model is illustrated by the widespread practice of copying theological school textbooks, among which the most significant is Epitome by Dionysius Novaković. A large number of copied works of the Orthodox polemic anti-Catholic literature, both Greek and Russian and Serbian, which is certainly a feature of theology of this time and the result of academic education, should be observed in this context. As a consequence, there were numerous copies of textbooks on nontheological subjects studied in the schools of Novi Sad and Sremski Karlovci, which shows that the monks of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci became more and more educated. A more creative way of dealing with copying books, as a reflex of medieval practice, was composing personal anthologies. They were mostly compilations of texts from Russian printed books, which contained, in addition to the works of recent Russian theology, a lot of works from the patristic period, as well as historiographical, pedagogical, legal or literary texts. An illustrative example of a monastery library with a high degree of content of the 18 th century copies is the collection of the Grabovac Monastery, which has got all the types of books typical for this period.

Рад се бави преписивачком делатношћу манастира Карловачке митрополије у 18. столећу као одразом средњовековне традиције. Пошто је укратко анализирана карактеристична историјска ситуација, наведени су разлози и сврха настављања преписивања у то време. Разматрају се интензитет и распрострањеност преписивачке праксе, врсте преписиваних књига (богослужбене, богословске, историографске, школске итд.), фреквентност преписивачког рада у току столећа, као и обичај компилирања личних зборника и њихово место у манастирским библиотекама. Наводе се и преписивани наслови, типични за овај период, при чему има књига српског, руског и западноевропског порекла. Нарочито се подвлачи пракса преписивања оригиналних дела српске средњовековне књижевности, како литургијских, тако и историографских. Појава новог типа школства код Срба илустрована је обичајем преписивања школских уџбеника. Посебно су наглашене и везе са руском културом, која је, између осталог, имала и посредничку улогу. На крају је дат кратак преглед и оцена дела рукописне збирке манастира Грабовца, везане за овај период, при чему је више пажње усмерено на полемичку теолошку литературу. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
