Полазећи од античких идеја о важности књижевности за појединца и за друштво и њихових формулација у једном од главних узорних текстова нововековног класичног хуманизма, Цицероновој беседи За Архију, присутним у посвети Мојсија Рашковића митрополиту Павлу Ненадићу, рад указује на важност овог непроученог документа на латинском језику из 1768. године за разумевање промена у културној клими у српској заједници у Хабсбуршкој монархији у преломном раздобљу пред почетак државних реформи у њој и као показатеља појаве световног типа интелектуалца и световно усмереног просветитељства у Срба.
Proceeding from the belief that researching the epoch of Enlightenment in
Serbian literature and culture requires, first of all, gaining an insight into sources
that have not been studied yet, among which of particular importance (having
been insufficiently studied) are those written in the Latin language, this paper
deals with one such source. It is a text whose author is Mojsije Rasković (ca
1750-1773), containing a dedication to his patron Metropolitan Archbishop of
Karlovci Pavle Nenadović, published in 1768 as a preface to an oration delivered
in the course of a ceremony on the occasion of the end of the school year of the
rhetoric class at the Pozsony Lycée: Oratio quam Musis valedicens Posoniensibus
in generali classis rhetorum examine A.R.S. M.DCC.LXVIL D. VL. Cal. Iunii habuit
Moses Rascovitsch Illyrio-Rascius. The paper points to the importance of this so
far unexamined document, written immediately before the death of Metropolitan
Archbishop Nenadović, when it co...mes to understanding the changes in the cultural
climate of the Serb community in the Habsburg Monarchy during the crucial
period before the beginning of the state reforms in it, and also as an indicator
of the advent of a secular type of intellectual and a secular Enlightenment trend
among the Serbs.
Within the framework of this unusually long text (almost as long as the oration
that it preceded) — which in itself is indicative of the fact that this is a programmatic
document - Rašković makes use of topoi that are often encountered
in the works of the early Serbian Enlightenment — the values and role of literature,
viewed as the basis of education and culture, for the individual and the community.
These are topoi of classical humanist provenance, and their prime source
is Cicero’s oration entitled Pro Archia poeta — which contains the syntagm “litterarum
lumen”, featured in the title of this paper. Relying on the ideas from the
classical antiquity on the importance of literature in one of the main exemplary
texts of the Modern-Age classical humanism, Rašković also makes use of other
characteristic formulations to be found in the above text and in other Cicero’s
texts (“exempla virtutis”, “memoria temporum”, “monumentum litterarum”), but
he only uses this particular formulation twice — probably due to the appropriateness
of light-related metaphors to the Enlightenment orientation. In addition to
this, the focus of his argumentation is — as it was when Cicero used this syntagm
- emphasising the irreplaceable role of literature when it comes to immortalising
great men and deeds, that is, to proclaiming their glory - which is why he concludes
that this is particularly lacking among the Serbs, who have so many heroes
equal to those of the classical antiquity, and even greater than those, of whom few
or none have heard.
The semantics of this topos in Rašković’s text must be interpreted contextually.
In the first place, this is a neo-Latin context, and what is generally to be taken
into consideration is Rašković's awareness that it is necessary to write in great
languages about the historical and current circumstances of the Serbian people.
On the other hand, the fact that, along with all the praises addressed to Metropolitan
Archbishop Nenadović, well known for his support to the development of
Serbian education and culture, Rasković openly voices his dissatisfaction with the
achievements in the domain of literature among the Serbs and indirectly points to
Nenadović as the one responsible for this, shows that a change of generations has
occurred and that the Serbs need a new — higher and more profanely conceived
and directed type of Enlightenment. He, therefore, thinks in the manner of representatives
of the mature Serbian Enlightenment - which he announced, but
did not fully participate in its development due to his untimely death.
