Editorial Introduction to the Second Issue

It is my pleasure to introduce this second issue of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative, containing selected papers from the 2010 TEI Members Meeting, which was held from November 11 to 13 at the University of Zadar in Croatia. All the papers in this volume are derived from presentations at the conference. The theme of the conference was Digital Texts and Language Resources, with a rather open scope of possible applications. The submitted presentations and also the papers included in ...

Neobrađene fotografije Ive Petriciolija iz ostavštine Zbirke Petricioli

Dr Ivo Petricioli left behind a large collection of material from his activity as a photographer. Although the majority of it is in the possession of the late Professor’s family, 85 black and white negatives on 6 x 6 rollfilms grouped in three albums are housed as part of the Petricioli Collection in the Department of History of Art of the University of Zadar. The collection was formed by Petricioli himself soon after he joined the Department as a lecturer. The collection contains different photographic material: exposures and negatives on various surfaces. The physical condition of the collection is, apart from minor mechanical and chemical damage sustained by some items, satisfactory. The initial sorting of the photographic material in the collection began in 2010. Three albums marked with the label ‘PRIVATE’ on the side attracted interest. They contain 85 black and white negatives created in the period between 1958 and 1965 during the Professor’s private travels in France and Italy. The negatives are well preserved: some have only minor scratches while some were stained through the action of residual chemicals after they were developed. Apart from excellent photographs of art-historical monuments in French and Italian towns with a pronounced note of the documentary, a number of interesting vedutes can be found among the negatives. Until now, the photographic oeuvre of Dr Ivo Petricioli had been unsorted and unpublished, leaving the public unfamiliar with his photographic works, which certainly merit attention.

Kastrum Burnum: između starih iskopavanja i novih istraživanja

Ostaci rimskog Burnuma nalaze se na obali rijeke Krke, unutar istoimenog Nacionalnog parka. Prva sustavna arheološka istraživanja u Burnumu vršio je Austrijski arheološki institut iz Beča: 1912. i 1913. godine te opet 1973. i 1974. godine kada su započela i istraživanja vodovoda za Burnum pod vodstvom Arheološkog muzeja u Zadru. Godine 2003. započela su istraživanja amfiteatra koja provole Sveučilište u Zadru i Gradski muzej u Drnišu. Između 2005. i 2007. godine u Burnumu su provedene i tri istraživačke kampanje Laboratorija za istraživanje arheoloških struktura Odjela za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Bolonji prilikom kojih su se koristile neinvazivne metode. temeljem tih istraživanja, članak donosi opću sliku povijesno-urbanističkog razvoj Burnuma u širem kontekstu povijesti rimske provincije Dalmacije.

Više od metodologije i prakse: projekt Burnum, primjer međunarodne suradnje na arheološkom istraživanju

Projekt Burnum nastao je 2005. kao zajednički istraživački projekt Odjela za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Zadru, Gradskog muzeja u Drnišu i Laboratorija za arheološko-topografska istraživanja Odjela za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Bolonji, pod međunarodnim pokroviteljstvom institucije Centro Studi per l’Archeologia dell’Adriatico (Ravenna, www.arcadria.eu). Ciljevi projekta su istraživanje i očuvanje važnog arheološkog nalazišta Burnum, u dolini rijeke Krke. Metodološko polazište projekta Burnum je testiranje protokola intervencije na premisama preventivne arheologije.

Istraživanja tumula na Ljubačkoj kosi 2007. godine

U okviru terenske nastave studenata arheologije Odjela za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Zadru 2007. godine poduzeta su istraživanja triju tumula na Ljubačkoj kosi. Pri tom je otkriveno sedam inhumacijskih pokopa i brojni prilozi po kojima se posebno ističe tumul 1. Pronađeni prilozi omogućili su datiranje tumula približno u II. fazu liburnske kulture ili 8./7. st. pr. Kr.

In Memoriam: Dalibor Brozović

Dalibor Brozovic, who died on Friday, June 19, 2009, was undoubtedly one of the greatest Croatian linguists of the 20th century, as well as a Slavic scholar of great international reputation. He was born on July 28, 1928, in Sarajevo, and he received most of his primary education in Zenica and Visoko in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1939 he moved to Zagreb with his family, where he finished high school and then went on to study Slavic languages and Italian in the University of Zagreb. He graduated in 1951 and was subsequently assistant in the Academy of Performing Arts (1952-53) and a lecturer in the University of Ljubljana. When the University of Zadar was re-established, he became an assistant there in 1956. He was made assistant professor in 1958, and full professor of Slavic in the University of Zadar in 1968. He remained there until the end of his university career in 1990. From 1991 until 2001 he was the director of the Miroslav Krleza Lexicographical Institute in Zagreb, and in 1986 he became a member of the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts. He was also a member of the Macedonian and Bosnian Academies, as well as a member of Academia Europea. During his university career he lectured in many European and American universities, and he was a guest professor in the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor (1969) and in the University of Regensburg (1971). He was also actively involved in politics, serving as a deputy in Croatian Parliament from 1990 until 1994; from 1990 until 1991 he was the vice-president of Croatia. It is difficult to overestimate Brozovic's influence on contemporary Croatian linguistics. He contributed to several linguistic disciplines, but his influence is most substantial in the domains of Slavic dialectology and sociolinguistics, phonology, and the history of the Croatian language, to which he devoted most of his efforts. His Ph.D. thesis Dialects in the valley of the River Fojnica was a ground-breaking contribution to South Slavic dialectology, not only proving the existence of the hitherto unrecognized East Bosnian Stokavian dialect, but also because it represented a major advance in the development of a structuralist approach to Slavic dialectology. His subsequent dialectological publications contained detailed descriptions of several South Slavic idioms of Bosnia and Croatia. It is Brozovic's lasting merit that he was able to recover, to a large extent, the original dialectal map of South Slavic dialects before the great migrations of the 16th-17th centuries. He also clearly recognized the specifics of the Western Stokavian dialect, from which the large majority of contemporary dialectal varieties of Croatian subsequently developed. The crown of Brozovic's research in the history of Croatian is his paper Hrvatski jezik, njegovo mjesto unutar juznoslavenskih i slavenskih jezika, njegove povijesne mijene kao jezika hrvatske knjizevnosti (Croatian language, its place among the South Slavic and Slavic languages, and its historical changes as the language of Croatian literature). …

Numizmatički nalazi s arheološkog lokaliteta Pakoštane - Crkvina

Lokalitet Pakoštane-Crkvina, smješten na položaju Košević, na zapadnoj obali Vranskoga jezera, u neposrednoj blizini ceste koja povezuje Pakoštane i Vranu, sustavno istražuje Odjel za arheologiju, Sveučilišta u Zadru. Od mnoštva arheološke građe autori su ovom prigodom izdvojili numizmatičke nalaze otkrivene tijekom dosadašnjih pet istraživačkih kampanja. Do sada je pronađeno ukupno 11 primjeraka novca, koji obuhvaćaju širok kronološki raspon od 4. do 18. stoljeća. Numizmatička građa s lokaliteta Pakoštane-Crkvina pronađena je u lošem stanju očuvanosti. Nakon čišćenja i konzervacije ipak je bilo moguće sa sigurnošću odrediti vremensku pripadnost deset očuvanih numizmatičkih nalaza. Ova numizmatička građa predstavlja odraz povijesno-trgovinskih zbivanja šireg prostora Sredozemlja, a samim time i grada Zadra i njegove šire okolice kojeg je i lokalitet Pakoštane-Crkvina nerazdvojni dio.
