Marulić's Contribution to the Croatian Renaissance Horticulture
Cvito Fisković
Sažetak
Marulić’s anthological description of Joakim’s garden in his short epic poem Suzana (Susanna) was probably inspired by the vegetation growing in the fields of Split and on its hill-sides, particularly by the shady arbors of its gardens. The author of the present article finds some localities in Split amazingly similar to Marulić’s description. Apart from testifying to the developed horticultural consciousness of the local owners of large estates, Marulić’s description is a treasure-house of the Croatian popular names for various plants and fruits. It is interesting that a good part of the mare still used in the local vernacular. The picturesqueness of the description further confirms Marulić’s pictorial talent for observation and plastic representation.
