Petar Hektorović and Aritotle's »Meterologica«

Josip Talanga

Abstract

A comparison of Aristotle's Meteorologica and Hektorović's Ribanje i ribarsko prigovaranje (Fishing and Fishermen's Disputes) points to the conclusion that the whole of Hektorović's poem rests on the. daulism of the Renaissance naturalism (fishing) and the Counter-Reformation spiritualism (disputes). The part of the poem developing a debate about the circulation of water in nature is characterized by the dual presence of the Aristotelian speculative-deductive theory and the Renaissance exploring and experimental mind.
