Marko Marulić in German Lexicons and Encyclopedias

Franz Leschinkohl

Sažetak

The author has surveyed German lexicons, encyclopedias, old and new bookselling inventories and bibliographical compendiums in order to establish the extent to and the manner in which Marko Marulić is represented there, finding out that the earliest such record goes back to 1568, the year in which the bookseller and publisher Georg Willer from Augsburg entered one of Marulić’s printed works into his catalogue issued on the occasion of the autumn fair in Frankfurt (Fig. 1). The author asserts that Willer, the most influential German bookseller of the day, could also have been the publisher of the second German translation of De institutione (Sech Bucher..., Fig.2). Considering the contemporary demand for Marulić’s works, the book should have promised good earnings, which Willer, as experienced publisher and bookseller, surely would not have missed.
Marulić and his works reappear in German sources in the 18th century, when we find his name in large lexicons and collections of universal knowledge (Figs. 3-7).The 19th century was in a particular way interested in incunabula and early 16th century editions, so that it was not before the last quarter of this century that any systematic work was done on the registration of the 16th century editions. In 1969, in Munich, a special committee was established with the purpose of publishing the series entitled Verzeichnis der im deutschen Sprachbereich erscheinenen Drucke des XVI. Jahrhunderts. Thanks to the collaboration of the renown Croatian Slavist and bibliographer, Josip Badalić, in the 13th book of the edition Marulić is represented with twenty editions.
