Sažetak

Pavao Skalić, as a figure in the Croatian philosophical tradition, has aroused ore Interest in his adventurous life than in his works. Burt these' nevertheless deserve attention, particularly since his scheme for the encyclopedic elaboration of »the totality of views of theologians and philosophers« was among the first attempts, in this field.
In his works he usually set forth the opinions of other scholars. He was mainly compiler, as is understandable given the encyclopedic purpose of his works. Neither did he develop any original concepts of his own, or go deeply into any philosophical or theological topic by himself. But in spite of all these facts his works are valuable just because they offer us a view, a sort of cross-sectuion of the subjects dealt with in the framework of Renaissance philosophical and theological thought.
Skalić belonged for a long period of his life to Protestant circles, which he joined after his first conflict with Rome (he returned under the wing of Rome at the end of his life), but at the same time his entire intellectual development stayed under the influaence of the Florentine intellectual circle, particularly the ideas of Pico della Mirandola, who was called »princeps« concordiae«. For these reasons Skalić's work is significant because it reveales the influence of some aspects of Italian Renaissance thought on philosophers who belonged to Protestant circles. One of the topics significant in this context is the revival and establishment of the tradition of a »sapientia aeterna« in the function of a project for restoration, and we deal with it in this article.
