Abstract
In the first part of the article the author summarizes the most important information on the Dominican Order that founded its first monasteries in Croatia in the 13th C. Frano Baldić, who was a member of the Order, performed his services in the monasteries in Šibenik, Trogir, Čiovo and Split. His legacy has been deposited in Split monastery and it contains approximately 30 sermons. The titles of these sermons are listed in the article. In the main part of the article, the author analyses the selected sermons from literary point of view in order to prove that Baldić, who was a great orator, followed the principles of aesthetically valuable literature in his fantastic and poetic descriptions, though he had no literary aspirations. The analysis points to the fact that these sermons contain numerous figures of speech that are close to the baroque poetics.
