Sažetak
The library of the Institute of Historical and Social Sciences of the Croatian Academy
of Sciences and Arts in Rijeka has in its safekeeping a publication believed to present
the incunabulum published in Venice in 1490, with commentaries by Girolamo
Capiduro of Poreč (Hieronymus Capidurus Parentinus) on the work Rhetorica ad Herennium.
However, since the Croatian professional literature includes information indicating
Girolamo Capiduro had not published the said commentaries before 1550, doubt
arose concerning the fact whether the publication kept at the Institute in Rijeka indeed
was an incunabulum. The paper has questioned the state of facts and consequently
proved that this publication saw the light of day in Venice in 1490. It has furthermore
been proved that this was not only the only incunabulum kept at the Institute in Rijeka,
but also the only known copy of this publication kept on the Croatian soil. The paper
further tackles the issue of the author’s identity, as all the available facts have led to the
conclusion that Girolamo Capiduro, as a matter of fact, is a pseudonym of Giorgio Valla,
humanist originating from Piacenza.
