Sažetak
Understanding the genre of the epistle to the maximum as free-standing letter in verse and prose addressed to a real correspondent and also as a dedicatory epistle, as an epistle that forms a framing device for some work, the paper analyses the poetic and aesthetic topics of rhymed epistles of Croatian Renaissance writing on the one hand and prose epistles on the other. While less attention is devoted to the analysis of verse epistles, for the range of aesthetic and poetic subject matter in them is very narrow (lauds to writers, inability to write, awareness of own value), in the prose epistles a large number of poetic and aesthetic issues are addressed. The article divides issues dealt with by the prose epistles into groups. Particular attention is devoted to epistles with metatextual writings, those that tell of the relation between the world of the work and the reality beyond the text, those that discuss the relations between ethics and aesthetics, epistles that tell of the writer and his development, and epistles that speak about the relation of a given writer with the literary tradition and, finally, his attitude to the audience. An incidental attempt is made to show that these are the most common topics of the poetic and aesthetic treatises in writers on the other side of the Adriatic.
