Abstract
The paper reviews the last will of the Kotor nobleman Nycolaus Marini
Glauacti made in 1327 to bequeath to St. George’s church on the small island
near Perast a depiction of the Madonna, St. Nicholas and St. John the
Baptist. On the one hand, the legacy is analyzed in the context of the
compositions involving the three saints in Kotor’s religious medieval art
and, on the other, in the context of ad pias causas bequests and the concept
of preparing for a good death (ars moriendi). The contents of the testaments
of Nycolaus and his brother Johannes Marin Glauacti as of 1336 are
contrasted, especially in terms of the number of pro remedio animae items
bequeathed and their distribution. A special emphasis is laid on the
comparison of the representations between the Franciscan and Benedictine
Orders as the recipients of pious bequests. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
