Abstract
The text analyzes the relations and influences btween the possibly most important thinker of the beginning of the modern times, Nicholas of Cusa, and several Croatian philosophers and theologians in the Humanism and the Renaissance periods. This above all concerns the ties between Ivan Stojković, an important philosopher and theologian, and Nicholas of Cusa, and also some other ties between Cusanus and Juraj Dragišić, and Andrija Dudić, respectively. The authoress particularly emphasizes the importance of Stojković’s library, that is, his collection of manuscripts, that he had left to the Dominican Monastery in Basel, and which had, it would seem, played a significant role in the intellectual formation of Nicholas of Cusa.
