Knowledge of and views about Marulić at the turn of the millennium
Ivo Frangeš
Sažetak
This paper summarises research about and new evaluations of Marulić’s works in the last decades of the 20th century. Since the perspective theory, to repeat Eco, warns that every reading can lead to a new understanding, and the creation of a new significance for the text, this can also apply to Marulić’s multi-lingual works, published as Opera omnia Marci Maruli. The paper shows how much Marulić was an active and equal participant in the Humanist literary events of the 15th and th centuries, here, on this restless and belligerent edge of the European space. Marulić, we now know much better, was not an adherent of any one literary genre, or of one conception of life and mood, but a creative mind sensitive of and available to, in line with the ideals of Humanism, very various human challenges. All this is backed up with reference to Davidiad, Evangelistarium, De institutione, De humilitate et gloria Christi, The Glasgow Poems, and Repertorium.
The paper gives, once again, an answer to the question of the metaphor of “the father of Croatian literature”. It is known that there were almost four centuries between the Baπka Tablet and Marulić, and they were far from devoid of literary work. None of the pre-Marulić writers in Croatian literature is excluded by the definition; father here implying the classic, the monumental, maturity in the broadest European dimensions. Marulić’s work reconciles two fundamental requirements of greatness: breadth of involvement in the tradition, and inexhaustibility of duration in time, or, that is, a selected national tradition worked upon until it attains universality.
