Sažetak
Opus of Miroslav Krleža (1893–1981) contains his knowledge and assessment of Frane Petrić (1529–1597) and the characteristics of his works, and it also points out the sources of Krleža’s knowledge of Petrić. Krleža revealed his knowledge of the characteristics of Petrić’s writings in four of his texts written in the period from 1940 to 1953.
First of them was the essay “O poeziji” (“On Poetry”), which Krleža wrote in 1940, but published it as late as 1967. Relying on claims from Croce’s Estetica, he presented the characteristics of Petrić’s understanding of poetry, with special regard to Petrić’s critique of Aristotle’s doctrine on subject matters of poetry, and the reasons why Petrić criticized Aristotle’s attitude that imitation is the source of poetry. The second text in which Krleža expressed his views on Petrić and the characteristics of his opus was “O našem dramskom répertoireu” (“On Our Drama Repertoire”) from 1948. In that text, Krleža took over or paraphrased records on Petrić which he found out from two sources: from an entry on Petrić written by Emilij Laszowsky for the work Znameniti i zaslužni Hrvati (The Eminent and Deserving Croats) from 1925, and from an article “Filozofija u Hrvatskoj” (“Philosophy in Croatia”) from 1943, written by Kruno Krstić. However, the article “On Our Drama Repertoire” contains Krleža’s own statements regarding Petrić. He emphasized that Petrić was “the most universal name of our literary Cinquecento,” that he was “a polyhistor and an omniscient person,” that he was not satisfied “with the Christianization of Greek thought, done by the Church, when it baptized Aristotle using Saint Thomas,” but Krleža also misjudged Petrić being “an apologist of the medieval right-wing.”
In the third text, which is actually a manuscript, “Filipović Vladimir o Marku Maruliću” (“Filipović Vladimir on Marko Marulić”) from 1950, Krleža stressed that Petrić’s writings exalted him to be “our loudest Name of Cinquecento,” while in the essay “O nekim problemima Enciklopedije” (“On Some Problems of the Encyclopedia”) from 1953 he considered Petrić one of the “great names”.
Krleža’s texts in which he mentioned Petrić also increase the number of bibliographic units on Petrić. Previous bibliographies on Petrić do not contain a single bibliographic unit from which it is possible to find out that Krleža ever wrote anything regarding that Croatian Renaissance philosopher. This paper proves that there should have been at least four bibliographic units.
