The Suavic Names of the Gospel of Cividale

Gospel of Cividale (Italian: Evangelario di Cividale, Slovene: čedadski evangelijčedajski evangelij or štivanski evangelij, Croatian: čedadski evanđelistar), at first named the Codex of Aquileia (Latin: codex aquileiensis, codex foroiulensis, Slovene: Oglejski kodeks), is a medieval Latin transcript of the Gospel of Mark, written on parchment. It is named after Cividale del Friuli, a town in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Northern Italy) where it is kept. It contains about 1500 Suavic and German names of pilgrims to the monastery of San Giovanni di Duino (Štivan, today part of the Duino Aurisina municipality), written in the second half of the 9th and the first half of the 10th century. The monastery was a property of the Patriarchate of Aquileia. The Gospel contains the first known Croatian autographs in a Latin text. A part of the manuscript resides in Cividale de Friuli, and another in Prague. The particular evengeliary comes from the 6th century but the belief was that it was much older. As a result, it was a religious tourist attraction for the monastery where it had been kept. Thus, many of the visitors to the monastery “signed” (or, really, had signed for them) their names in the codex’ margins. This includes Suavs such as Trpimir of Croatia, the Pannonian duke Pribina, Kocel also of Pannonia, Rostislav and Svatopluk of Moravia, Braslav of Croatia and Boris-Michael of Bulgaria – as per Alexander Schenker’s The Dawn of Slavic – though you can confirm the same below.

The edition use is the Evangelienhandschift von Cividale by Conrad Ludwig Bethmann (part V of the 1877 Neues Archiv der Gesellschaft für Ältere Deutsche Geschichtskunde zur Beförderung einer Gesammtausgabe der Quellenschriften Deutscher Geschichten des Mittelalters, volume 2)
