Sažetak
Ragusaʼs cultural sphere did not encompass only the highly esteemed Croatian (Illyrian) literature, but also included works written in Latin and Italian. In the late eighteenth-century republic of letters, individuals from Ragusa, such as the learned nobleman Miho Sorgo (1739–1796), worked tirelessly to transmit and disseminate these literary achievements among readers abroad, particularly within Italian cultural centres. The most valuable insights into these processes are offered by Sorgoʼs correspondence in the Italian language, which contains numerous examples of practices such as the commissioning and gifting of books, as well as the distribution of translated and original literary works. The aim of this paper is to present the forms of cultural exchange in which Miho Sorgo played a prominent and recognised role as cultural mediator and promoter of Ragusan culture and literature.
