Abstract
The poet Ludovik Paskalić (Lodovico Paschale), born in the city of Kotor (the Republic of Montenegro), was one of the leading writers of poetry in the Italian language from the area of Venetian Dalmazia; his collection Rime volgari (Venice, 1549) was dedicated to Martia Grisogono, a noblewoman from the Dalmatian city of Zadar. In this essay, new light is cast on the dissemination of Paskalić’s verses among the Italian Renaissance composers. According to recent bibliographical data, it seems that Rime volgari attracted the attention of three contemporary composers: Camillo Perego incorporated two of Paskalić’s poems in his collection Madrigali a quattro voci (1555), Francesco Menta, another two, in Madrigali a quattro voci (1569), while the last one was inserted by Giovanni Battista Pace in Il primo libro de madrigali a cinque voci (1585). More detailed analysis is given of the anthology of the five-voices madrigals entitled Il primo libro de madrigali a cinque voci di Gio. Battista Pace, et Giovan Donato Vopa, discepoli di Stefano Felis da Bari (1585), dedicated to Matija Bunić (Matteo di Bona), the Dubrovnik Republic’s consul in the city of Bari. A transcription of Amor fra boschi is added at the end of the modern edition of Pace’s madrigals.
