Dora Ivanišević
; Central European University Vienna, Republic of Austria
Abstract
John of Ragusa (Iohannes Stoyci de Ragusio; Dubrovnik, 1390/1395 – Lausanne, 1443), a Dominican, ecclesiastical politician, theologian, orator, and bibliophile, composed and likely delivered his Latin oration referred to by its opening words Erit tibi gloria (You will be honored) on October 18, 1424 in his native Dubrovnik. The autograph manuscript (A VI 35) is kept by the University Library Basel (Universitäts-bibliothek Basel); the oration occupies ff. 224r–235r with in between 44 and 52 lines per folium written out in a script resembling the so-called Gothica cursiva currens (or the cursiva recentior). This publication offers a first complete Latin edition and a Croatian translation of John of Ragusa’s oration in which he thanked Dubrovnik for its financial support for his studies abroad and expressed his praise of wisdom and of literary studies.
