Sveta Gora Atonska je že več kot tisočletje najbolj posebna meniška skupnost v
Evropi. Čeprav je bila s svojo lego izolirana od preostalega sveta, so se v njej čutila
tudi oddaljena vrenja v evropski zgodovini in posledično tudi reformacija ni minila
brez odmevov. V prispevku je predstavljeno eno izmed tovrstnih pričevanj – poslanica
Gavrila Svetogorca ogrskemu kralju Ivanu Zapolji, verjetno iz leta 1533/1534.
Gavrilo Svetogorac, pravoslavni menih, je večkrat izpričan v virih, in sicer kot
prevajalec iz grščine v srbščino. V času, ko si je dopisoval z ogrskim vladarjem,
je bil protos, tj. starešina Svete Gore. Na prošnjo Ivana Zapolje je Gavrilo podal
svoje mnenje o Martinu Lutru ter svoje videnje posameznih dogodkov iz zgodovine
Katoliške cerkve. S časom pisanja in s stališči, ki jih je predstavil v poslanici, se je
svetogorski protos Gavrilo aktivno vključil v aktualne evropske dogodke.Mount Athos has been the most specific monastic community in Europe for over
a thousand years. Though isolated from the rest of the world, the community has
always reflected the turning points in European history, including Reformation. The
paper looks at one testimony of this kind – the Epistle of the protos Gavrilo Svetogorac
(Gavrilo from Mount Athos) to John Zapolya, Hungarian king, written probably
in 1533/1534. Gavrilo from Mount Athos was an Eastern Orthodox Church
monk who was mentioned many times and in different sources as a translator from
Greek into Serbian. At the time of his correspondence with the Hungarian ruler he
was a protos ‒ the head of Mount Athos. At the request of John Zapolya, Gavrilo
offers his opinion about Martin Luther as well as his view on certain events in the
history of the Catholic Churc Judging by the time when the epistle was written,
and the attitudes expressed in it, the protos of Mount Athos was actively involved
in the events in Europe in that particular period.
