Štrped (Italian: Sterpeto) is a village in Istria, Croatia,[3] situated at the base of the Ćićarija range. Ecclesiastically, it is under the Buzet parish.[4]

Architecture

Its spiritual centre is the Sv. Duh church, located 1 km north of Štrped in an eponymous hamlet. It was built in three phases. The first phase was a 13th century Romanesque aisleless church of which a portal with stone lunette is all that remains. The second phase finished in the year 1500 and involved the addition of a late Gothic polygonal sacristy with a pointed vault. The third phase saw the nave covered with a Baroque roof and the addition of a semicircular loggia. Among the mason's marks on the outer side of the apse is that of the "Carniolan Master",[a] also responsible for Sv. Jurja church in Oprtalj. The main altar was built in 1636, but an some remains of an older altar dating to the beginning of the 16th century persist. There is also a gilded wooden side-altar. The church has been the subject of a number of works since 1969.[5][6]

History

The environs of Štrped were settled in prehistoric and ancient times.[6]

In 1521, a Latin inscription was made on the eastern wall of Sv. Duha:[5]: 24 

QVODCV. LIGA (VERIS). SVP
TER.ERI. LIG. IN CEL: ET
QVO. SOL. SVP. TER
ERV. SOL ET IN CELO
1521

A monastery of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual was built next to Sv. Duha in 1620, but it was destroyed in a fire in 1768 and abandoned in 1773.[6]

In 1636, a gilded side-altar was built for Sv. Duha church, with the inscription:[5]: 24 

IN CONCEPTIONE TVA VIRGO

In 1699, a benefactor stone was inscribed with the inscription by the hand or commission of gvardian John and placed in the north wall next to the altar:[5]: 24 

ILL: EXC D JOSEPH MAVROCENO
HOSPITI BENEFACTORI

In 1850 Sv. Duha was given a new whitewash, as attested by an inscription:[5]: 25 

GIOV FLEGO FECE
STUCARE LA CHIESA S SPIRITO
NELL ANNO 1850

In 1857, the current southern altar in honour of saint Anthony of Padua was set in place in Sv. Duh with the inscription:[5]: 24

Glagolitic inscription

By the time of its 1906 publication by Luka Jelić [hr],[7][b] a Glagolitic inscription dated 6 April 1500 had become known to epigraphers from the presbytery of Sv. Duha church in Štrped:

Ⱍ·Ⱇ ⰮⰔⰜ
ⰒⰓⰋⰎⰀ ·
ⰄⰐⰬ ·Ⰵ·

The ⰒⰓ is written as a ligature. The inscription was further mentioned by Vjekoslav Spinčić in 1913,[8] Rudolf Strohal [hr] in 1915,[9] Radovan Ivančević [hr][5] and Branko Fučić[10] in 1969, with Ivančević providing a reproduction. Finally, an image of the inscription was published by Fučić in 1982.[11]: 339 

Although the inscription is short, it played a prominent role in the debate between Italian irredentists and Slavs over the future of the Julian March.[12]
