Abstract
Based on references, published sources and archival materials, the paper attempts to show the life and work of a Croatian poet, Dominican Toma Marinković Tomić (1710-1779), who is virtually unknown in the history of Croatian literature. The author of the paper is discussing his epistle in Sapphic stanzas in Croatian language, describing the cause of its emergence, its form and size, also briefly giving its plot outline. It is pointed out that the epistle is particularly interesting because of its language and terminology. The transcription of the epistle is also published for the first time, providing in the notes several necessary explanations regarding the terminology from priestly life. Literary historians are invited to pay more attention to the epistle written by father Toma Marinković Tomić, so that in that way it would receive a proper place in the history of Croatian literature, which was impossible before its publication.
