Is the Naslidovan’je Isukarsta a Poem by Marulić?
Mladen Parlov
Abstract
Till now, the poem Naslidovan’je Isukarsta (Imitation of Christ) could not be ascribed with certainty to Marulić. Consequently, it was not included in the volume of Marulić’s collected works containing his Croatian poetry Pisni razlike (Various poems). Yet, the author of the present article draws attention to the perfect correspondence running between this poem and the Latin text of the chapter 24, book III, of the Evangelistarium (bearing the title Quod oportet nos conformari Christo). The comparison of the two texts proves that the Naslidovan’je Isukarsta is a faithful Croatian translation in verse of the mentioned Latin text. It proves too, that we have good ground for speaking of it as Marulić’s poem.
