UTIŠENJE OŽALOŠĆENIH U SEDAM POKORNI PISAMA KRALJA DAVIDA GRGURA PEŠTALIĆA: HISTORIJSKOANTROPOLOŠKA ANALIZA. (Croatian)

The poetic work of Grgur Peštalić, the Franciscan friar who witnessed the plague epidemic in Syrmia in 1795, is a valuable source in historiography for various reasons. The main aspect and perspective he offered by exploring a specific case of the plague in this work is dominantly historical-imagological. Particularly discussed in this work are the similarities and dissimilarities of the anti-epidemic measures Peštalić put forward in his work and those suggested by the state. In terms of similarities and dissimilarities it has been assessed whether there was a cooperation between church and state for anti-epidemic purposes; in addition to this, the work is a source that testifies to everyday life during the plague and to the social-political context. Precisely this context and the specificity of the area where the epidemic broke out have been an important factor in the research into the topic of this work. The role of Peštalić as a Franciscan has been examined as well as his activities as a member of the clergy and as a mediator between the local community and the government that was distant from the peripheral area affected by the plague.

radu se analizira djelo Grgura Peštalića koji se za vrijeme kuge koja je zahvatila Srijem 1795. godine nalazio u Vukovaru kao franjevački gvardijan. Čovjek različitih znanstvenih interesa piše o kugi kao edukator, tj. posrednik između lokalnog stanovništva i države koja u suradnji s crkvom pokušava obuzdati epidemiju. Njegovo djelo relativno je nepoznat izvor, osobito u kontekstu promatranja historijske epidemiologije, a ovaj rad pokušat će ukazati na njegovu vrijednost i u tom aspektu. Osim društveno- političke kontekstualizacije, uspoređuje se Peštalićevo tumačenje kuge i predložene protuepidemijske mjere s onim državnima. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
