Mesto slovenščine v župniji svetega Antona v »terezijanskem« Trstu konec 18. stoletja

Simčič, Tomaž (author)

Po ustanovitvi župnije leta 1777 je bilo bogoslužje zaradi večjezične sestave prebivalstva – italijanske, slovenske in nemške – organizirano v vseh treh jezikih. Prvi župnik Filip Frölich je v svojih navodilih iz leta 1785 natančno uredil pastoralno dejavnost in poudaril potrebo po duhovnikih, ki so obvladali kranjski (slovenski) jezik. Dva na novo odkrita dokumenta iz tržaškega škofijskega arhiva – molitveni obrazec v slovenščini in latinski seznam duhovniških zadolžitev – pričata, da je bila slovenščina živi del verskega in vsakdanjega življenja župljanov. Besedilo molitve, zapisano v bohoričici, vsebuje izrazite kranjske narečne značilnosti. Članek tako razkriva, da je bila raba slovenščine v cerkvenem kontekstu v 18. stoletju samoumevna, čeprav je bila v 20. stoletju iz cerkve nasilno izrinjena in se je vanjo vrnila šele po koncu druge svetovne vojne.

• Title: The place of Slovenian in the parish of St. Anthony in “Theresian” Trieste at the end of the 18th century

Abstract

After the parish was established in 1777, worship services were organ- ized in all the three languages due to the multilingual composition of the population – Italian, Slovenian, and German. The first parish priest, Filip Frölich, regulated pastoral activities in his instructions from 1785 and emphasized the need for priests who were proficient in the Carn- iolan (Slovenian) language. Two newly discovered documents from the Trieste diocesan archives – a prayer form in Slovenian and a Latin list of priestly duties – testify that Slovenian was a living part of the religious and everyday life of the parishioners. The text of the prayer, written in Bohorič alphabet, contains distinct Carniolan dialect features. The article thus reveals that the use of Slovenian in a church context was self-evident in the 18th century, although it was forcibly removed from the use in church in the 20th century and only returned there after the end of World War II.
