Sažetak
This paper, here published as a sequel to an earlier one(CCP 45/2000, pp. 207-211), discusses the origin and genealogy of the family of Vicko Pribojević (Vincentius Priboevius), Dominican friar of St. Mark’s monastery in Hvar, who in 1525 held his famous oration
»De origine successibusque Slavorum«, printed in Venice in 1532. He spent three years in Poland, probably in Cracow, where (evidently under infl uence of the local Canon Matthew from Miechowo) he became an ardent panslavist. He is the fi rst man of letters from Hvar who presented himself to the world in print; he also introduced in his work for the fi rst time the poets of Hvar such as Hanibal Lučić , Petre Hektorović and several others. Declaring
himself »a Dalmatian, consequently an Illyrian /i. e. a Croat/ and fi nally a Slav«, Pribojević enhanced the national spirits, then at its lowest, battered from all sides by the Turks, Venetians, Germans and Hungarians. The paper publishes the last will of Pribojević ’s father, written in 1521, wherefrom we learn the names of his nearest relatives. At that time the family, originating from Vrboska on the island of Hvar, was settled in the city of Hvar, undoubtedly to engage in lucrative commercial activities of this most frequented port.
After the city was sacked and burnt by the Turks in 1571 (the event soon followed by a tremendous plague and a disastrous explosion of the local Citadel), the Pribojevićs – who at that time romanized their family name to Peribonio – had to go back to Vrboska, where they died out in the early 19th c.; a branch that shortly before moved to the town of Vis surviving to the present.
