Sažetak
Drawing on familiar Latin letters and on archival sources the article reconstructs parts of the biography of Antun Bunić (Antonio Bona, 1536–1558), a Ragusan humanist who so far has not attracted the attention of scholars. In Croatian literary historiography Bunić is only noted in connection with a tombstone found in the cloister of the Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua and the few letters sent to him by the Italian humanist Giulio Pogiani. The letters that passed between Bunić and Pogiani are here analyzed for the first time, but the article also identifies previously unknown letters by Bunić preserved in the epistolary collection compiled by Bunić’s Florentine teacher Dionigi Lippi. The letters reveal specific details concerning the tragic circumstances that forced Bunić to leave Ragusa and seek refuge in Italy. New light is also shed on Bunić’s literary connections and friendships during his stay in Florence and Bologna, manifested through a series of poems, some of them unabashedly erotic, addressed to him by the humanist poet Benedetto Varchi.
