Abstract
In the history of early-modern Croatian literature, poet Barne Karnarutić from Zadar, thanks to his poem Vazetje Sigeta grada, published in Venice in 1584, is reputed as the author of the oldest historical epic. Along with some details from the lives of Barne Karnarutić and Petar Fodroci, publisher of the third edition of Karnarutić’s epic, this paper compares previous editions of Karnarutić’s epic and Fodroci’s edition from 1661. The paper also gives Fodroci’s Croatian translation of the inscription to Nikola Zrinski, as well as Forgač’s description of the siege and defence of Siget from 1566.
