Sažetak
Through an analysis of the inscription that Mara Gundulić, the wife of Nikola V. Gučetić, a Renaissance philosopher from Dubrovnik, wrote for Cvijeta Zuzorić, a poetess from Dubrovnik, placing at the same time »under Cvijeta's protection« her husband's treatise Sopra la metheore d'Aristotele..., the paper discusses one of the important, yet rarely analyzed issues of Renaissance thought — the woman.
Numerous treatises written about women in the 15th and 16th centuries, either about their inferiority, or their equality, or superiority in relation to men, confirm the new humanist Renaissance interest in women, and the text is an attempted survey of the complex phenomenon. The authoress mentions some of the key elements of the so-called misogynous tradition (from several Greek philosophers, especially Aristotle, to the Bible and Mediaeval authors), and the Renaissance »novum« in the approach to the issue. Also, she points at Mara Gundulić's originality concerning the »woman issue«, as well as Nikola V. Gučetić originality respectively. In his dialogues on love and beauty Gučetić defends theses on women (superiority of women) that are mainly similar to his wife's theses in the above-mentioned inscription.
