Subject Classification: | 04.06. Seismology | Abstract: | The custom of invoking specific saints as protectors against earthquakes seems to starts in the early 17th century. Before then, earthquake-affected communities tended to choose which saint(s) to pray individually, for reasons of their own. “Common” earthquake devotions, promoted by influential patrons and publicized by the mass media, appear as an early example of cultural globalization. This paper examines a few traces of their adoption by Eastern Adriatic communities in the 18th century. |
