O СРБИMA У ДАЛИМИЛОВОЈ ХРОНИЦИ
ABOUT SERBS IN THE CHRONICLE OF DALIMIL

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the reasons for mentioning Serbs in two first chapters of the work called in historiography The Old Czech Chronicle of So-Called Dalimil or The Chronicle of Dalimil. Speaking about the mythic origin of the Czech people, the anonymous author mentions Serbs twice. The mentions of Serbs must be observed together with the mention of Croatia which is brought into connection with the Serbian people, and the legendary founder of the Czech state. As these data have not been separately analysed in Serbian medieval studies, the main aim of the paper is to carry out a critical analysis of the author’s construction, which is highly specific in terms of its form and content. The paper will highlight these specificities in order to arrive to at least an approximate answer as to the role of Serbs in The Chronicle of Dalimil.
