Abstract

In his poetic opus, just as in his significant Latin ethico-philosophical works, Marulić produces, in a classical way, a synthesis, reconciling the Ancient World and Christianity. He is a typical Renaissance philosopher who unites Stoical rigour, Platonic objectivity, and Christian heteronomy in ethics, and in morality in particular.
In those serious historic conditions (the Turks in front of Split), in wihich the vital existence of the Croatian people was imperilled, Marulić could not lean towards a new relativism; instead , to support a possible liberating fight of his people, he produces a .synthesis in which the security of Christianity in a rejuvenated paganism might find its solution. His books in Latin have been published in a great many editions and translated into German, Italian, French, and Portuguese. In Europe they have been interpreted as the fighting against Luther rather than tihe Turlks. Habent .sua fata libelli.
