Summary
Bandulavić, Ivan, Croatian religious writer (Skoplje, today Uskoplje / Donji Vakuf, second half of the 16th century - ?, first half of the 17th century). Franciscan, active in Bosnia, and for a short time in Dalmatia. Published the work Pistols and Gospels near all ages newly martyred according to the reason of the Missal of the Roman Court (1613), which is actually a reworked and supplemented edition of the oldest Latin Croatian lectionary Bernardin Splićanin from 1495 and the first work by a Bosnian Franciscan writer printed in Latin. However, the novelty of Bandulavić's lectionary is that he included in it translations of some epistles and gospels that were not in the older Croatian editions, then the text of all the prefaces and the Christmas song Pisanca u se vrime godista. At the end of the book, he added interpretations of words that he considered outdated. Bandulavić was a contemporary of the founder of Franciscan literature in Bosnia in the Croatian language, Fr. Matija Divković, but unlike him (who published exclusively in Bosnian or the so-called Western Cyrillic), he was the first Bosnian Franciscan to publish his works in Latin. Bandulavić's lectionary was written in a kind of mixture of Chakavian and Bosnian Štokavian, and this was undoubtedly one of the reasons that it soon began to be used outside the borders of Bosnia, especially in Dalmatia and Slavonia (another reason is certainly that in Bandulavić's time the Franciscan province of Bosna Srebrena included a large part of Slavonia and Dalmatia). That is why, including some revisions by Slavonic Franciscans, for example N. Kesić (1740), E. Pavić (1764), M. Lanosović (1794), and the Dalmatian Franciscan P. Knežević (1773), over the course of two centuries Bandulavic's lectionary was printed in about 20 editions, of which in some bibliographies and catalogs as many as 14 are attributed to him.
