Abstract
Although he doesn’t belong to the group of the most prominent Croatian
baroque writers, Jure Radivojević Gizdelin certainly does not deserve to
be forgotten, even more because during a very turbulent period of the
Croatian history he defended his homeland equally with both saber and
pen. With that leading idea the authors of this article endeavor to throw
light upon the character and work of this Croatian soldier and poet of
Bosnian origin, with a reference to Holy Virgin Mary, whom he reveres
with a special zeal. His works “Okolišenje i uzetje grada Budina” and
“Skazanje vazetja lipoga Biograda” are pervaded with a deep devoutness
to Our Lady of Olovo to whom he writes praises and in whose help he relies
upon in the fight against obnoxious Turkish conquerors and usurpers
of the Bosnian Kingdom.
