Marko Marulić in North American Publications and Libraries
Vinko Grubišić
Sažetak
This extensive topic is approached to provide some initial information about Marulić in American encyclopaedias and other compendia and reference works, and to state to what extent printed works are available in American libraries. Short mention is also made of the most important papers about Marulić appearing in American journals (Mirko Usmiani, Ante Kadić, Henry Cooper…). Proof that scholars in the USA value Marulić very highly can be found in the third numberof Harvard Slavic Studies having published an extensive work about the Croatian humanist by the Marulić scholar Mirko Usmiani, who is not widely known in Croatia.
In the extensive and very comprehensive catalogue The National Union Catalog Pre-1956 Imprints (vol. 365, pp. 690-692) there is a list of Marulić’s work only in the leading American libraries, a list that is really quite impressive, of which there will be more in detail in the paper. There are the following Latin works by Marulić:
The Antwerp Opera omnia of 1601, De institutione… (under various differents titles and in various Latin editions) in several copies (two Italian translations, one Portuguese and one Spanish of the work ought to be mentioned). The English commentary to the censored Portuguese edition is of interest, and the present author provides a Croatian translation of it in this paper. As well as the popular work De institutione, the catalogue also mentions two different editions of the Evangelistary (1519 and 1532).
Other works that are mentioned are: Liber Marci Maruli Spalatensis de laudibus Herculis of 1524 and an Italian translation of the work entitled Dialogo de Marco Marulo, Delle excellenti virtu et marauigliosi fatti di Hercole, Quinquaginta parabolae and Epistola ad Adrianum VI.
Most of the score or so printed estant copies of Marulić’s Latin works are in libraries in Boston and New York, which needs cause no surprise when one considers how important Marulić’s works were among Catholic all round the world.
It is interesting that the famed Library of Congress possesses only one copy of the work Epistola ad Adrianum VI and two copies of the polemical writing Animadversion, which is bound in with two editions of Lucić’s renowned historical work.
The author of this survey considers this just a first step in the study of Marulić’s reception in North America, for the printed works deserve thorough and wide-ranging study.
In the future it will be interesting to do research, as far as it is possible, in to the routes and ways in which his works got into American libraries, for the routes will often take us not only to interesting travellers but also to the very sources.
