Sažetak
Nikola Nalješković sent six epistles to Petar Hektorović, over a span of several decades. Three of them are either entirely conventional, i.e., like ordinary letters, or are short, which means meagre in contents. But three of them are much longer and more ambitious, as well as more uncommon, and in this paper it is these three that are subjected to analysis. One of them contains a fairly well developed allegorical scene; the second is not addressed to Hektorović, rather to his ailment; and the third, devoted to the topic of old age, is only assigned the role of epistle in the title, while in terms of formal characteristics it does not really belong to this genre. On the basis of an analysis of these pieces, the article tries to make some conclusions about the poetic status of the epistle in the Croatian literature in the age of Nalješković and Hektorović.
