Abstract

Two pages from Marulić’s autograph codex of Repertorium (Rome, Biblioteca nazionale centrale, Mss Gesuitici 522, ff. 143v-144r) were missing in the editio princeps, prepared by Branimir Glavičić 1998-2000. Here we present the text of these pages, preserving Marulić’s spelling, but modernizing capitalization and punctuation. The pages comprise commonplaces beginning with f culled from Aulus Gellius (frigidum, frugalitas, fames, filii), Plutarch’s Lives (fortuna, felix, fides, formosus, furari, fama, fames, filii, festum), Lactantius (fortuna, felicitas, fortis, frugalitas), and Diogenes Laertius (fortuna, felix). As a contribution to an understanding of the way Marulić read and thought, we cite several passages from the books from which he was excerpting (it turns out that Latin insitio may be Marulić’s own emendation of Gellius’s quote from Publilius Syrus; when Marulić wrote Scylla where we would write Sulla, he was following his 1491 edition of Plutarch).
