Smiljka Malinar
Sažetak
Memoria sopra l’isola di Corzola, a report that the natural historian and travel writer
Alberto Fortis delivered at a meeting of the Accademia di Scienze Lettere e Arti in
Padua on December 12, 1782, which was published by Professor Žarko Muljačić,
details Fortis’ stay on the island of Korčula. The reason for this stay was the theories
of Neapolitan scholar Ciro Minervini on the allegorical meaning of Homer’s epics
and the volcanic origin of Korčula. In this paper Fortis’ report will be presented as a
polemical and didactic text and will be supplemented with certain information about
the circumstances in which it was written.
