Abstract:

The article presents a re-examination of the story of the Synod of Dalma, which is primarily found in the chronicle Gesta regum Sclavorum (GRS). The author argues that GRS is a medieval compilation of diverse texts that were revised and adapted to fulfill the objectives of the chronicle’s author. Through an examination of the presumed prior source of the story, or “hypotext”, the article scrutinizes its potential content, date, and purpose. This examination of the Synod of Dalma’s story allows for the re-establishment of the relationship between GRS on the one hand, and the Cyrillic-Methodian tradition, the formation of Christian Moravia, and the reign of the Great Moravian ruler Svatopluk on the other hand. The study concludes that this narrative from GRS could potentially offer valuable insights into the history of the Slavs in both the Balkans and north of the (Middle) Danube. Ultimately, a re-evaluation of the credibility of the entire text of GRS is suggested.

Aпстракт:

У раду се анализира прича о Дувањском сабору, за коју је примарни извор хроника Gesta regum Sclavorum (GRS). Тврди се да је GRS средњовековна компилација различитих текстова који су прерађени тако да испуне циљеве писца хронике. Након претпоставке о извору или „хипотексту” дате приче анализира се његов могући садржај, датум и сврха. Анализа приче о Дувањском сабору омогућава поновно успостављање везе између GRS, с једне стране, и ћирилско-методијске традиције, хришћанске Моравске и владавине великоморавског владара Сватоплука, с друге стране. Закључак студије је да одељак о Дувањском сабору из GRS може да пружи вредан увид у историју Словена, како оних на Балкану, тако и Словена који живе северно од (средњег) Дунава. На крају предложено је ново покретање расправе о историјској веродостојности GRS.

Кључне речи:

Gesta regum Sclavorum, Летопис попа Дукљанина, Сватоплук, Велика Моравска, ћирилско-методијска традиција.
