Zara (Jadeha), Archdiocese op, in Dalmatia.
Zara has been a diocese since a. d. 381 and since 1146
an archdiocese. Its succession of bishops numbers
eighty without noteworthy interruption. Bishop
Sabinianus is mentioned in the "Register" of Gregory
the Great. In one of his letters John VIII names St.
Donatus as patron of Jadera. Archaeologists find in
south-east of Set if in Algeria, crown an emi-
nence which commands all the cotmtry on the
left bank of the Oued Taourlalent, which the
Arabs in the Middle Ages called Oued Zaraoua;
remains of a Byzantine citadel and of two Christian
basihcas are j'et visible. Two bishops of Zarai are
knomi: Cresconius, present at the Conference of
Zara many traces of ecclesiastical sculpture with Ger- Carthage, 411, where he had as a rival the Donatist
man characteristics dating from the migration of the
German tribes. The Church of St. Donatus is the
most important structure of its period preserved in
Dalmatia. The massive dome of the rotunda is sur-
rounded by a vaulted gallery in two stories which also
extends around the three apses to the east. Zara
was the capital of Byzantine Dalmatia, but the fact
that an example of Carlovingian architecture is found
there shows that Zara must once have belonged to the
Franks and explains the visit of Bishop Donatus to
Charlemagne in Die-
tenhofen. Since Zara
belonged to Venice
the bishops of Grado
have exercised patri-
archal jurisdiction
over it. In 1270
Patriarch jEgidius
summoned Arch-
bishop John with his
suffragans to t h e
Council of Gradd
where they were,
however, represented
by deputies. Arch-
bishop Nikolaus III
of Zara was present
at the synod con-
vened by Cardinal
Guido of St. Cecilia
at Padua in 1350.

Zarlino, Gioseffe, Italian musical theorist, b. at Chioggia in 1.517; d. at Venice, 4 Feb., 1.590. He studied for the Church and was ordained deacon in 1.541, but became so devoted to music that he placed him- self under the direc- tion of \\'illaert at Venice. In 1564 he was elected successor to di Rore as first maestro di ciippilla at St. Mark's, Venic^e, a position he held till liis death. One of his earliest composi- lii)iis was an ode for the victory of Le- panto, 7 Oct., 1571. Between the years 1566 and 1578 he composed seven masses and madri- gals. In 1582 he

Zarai, titular see of Numidia in Africa, men-
tioned by the "Itinerarium Antonini", 35, and by the
"Tabula Peutingerii". Ptolemy (IV. 2) calls it Zara-
tha, and wrongly places it in Mauretania Ca?sarien- .
sis. It is probably the Zaratha of Apuleius (Apolo- court at Freiburg; in 1.503, legal adviser to the uni-

Zasius, Ulric, a famous jurist, b. at Constance in 1461; d. at Freiburg, 24 Nov., 1536. After studying at Tubingen he first became episcopal notary at Con- stance, then town clerk at Baden in Aargau in 1489, and at Freiburg in 1493. From 1496-9 he directed the Latin school at Freiburg. In 1499 he studied law at the University of Freiburg, was appointed lecturer of rhetoric and i)oetry there in 1500 and professor of jurisprudence in 1.506. In 1,502 he was also clerk of
gia, 23). These two forms and the term "Zarai-
tani" found in an inscription (Corp. Inscript. Lat.
4511) seem to indicate that the name Zarai which
appears on another inscription (Corp. Inscript. Lat.
2532) must have lost, a final dental letter. The
