%0 Journal Article %T Miroslav Krle£¿a¡¯s Assessment of Frane Petri£¿ %A Bali£¿ %A Davor %J - %D 2017 %X Sa£¿etak Opus of Miroslav Krle£¿a (1893¨C1981) contains his knowledge and assessment of Frane Petri£¿ (1529¨C1597) and the characteristics of his works, and it also points out the sources of Krle£¿a¡¯s knowledge of Petri£¿. Krle£¿a revealed his knowledge of the characteristics of Petri£¿¡¯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 Krle£¿a wrote in 1940, but published it as late as 1967. Relying on claims from Croce¡¯s Estetica, he presented the characteristics of Petri£¿¡¯s understanding of poetry, with special regard to Petri£¿¡¯s critique of Aristotle¡¯s doctrine on subject matters of poetry, and the reasons why Petri£¿ criticized Aristotle¡¯s attitude that imitation is the source of poetry. The second text in which Krle£¿a expressed his views on Petri£¿ and the characteristics of his opus was ¡°O na£¿em dramskom r¨¦pertoireu¡± (¡°On Our Drama Repertoire¡±) from 1948. In that text, Krle£¿a took over or paraphrased records on Petri£¿ which he found out from two sources: from an entry on Petri£¿ written by Emilij Laszowsky for the work Znameniti i zaslu£¿ni Hrvati (The Eminent and Deserving Croats) from 1925, and from an article ¡°Filozofija u Hrvatskoj¡± (¡°Philosophy in Croatia¡±) from 1943, written by Kruno Krsti£¿. However, the article ¡°On Our Drama Repertoire¡± contains Krle£¿a¡¯s own statements regarding Petri£¿. He emphasized that Petri£¿ 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 Krle£¿a also misjudged Petri£¿ being ¡°an apologist of the medieval right-wing.¡± In the third text, which is actually a manuscript, ¡°Filipovi£¿ Vladimir o Marku Maruli£¿u¡± (¡°Filipovi£¿ Vladimir on Marko Maruli£¿¡±) from 1950, Krle£¿a stressed that Petri£¿¡¯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 Petri£¿ one of the ¡°great names¡±. Krle£¿a¡¯s texts in which he mentioned Petri£¿ also increase the number of bibliographic units on Petri£¿. Previous bibliographies on Petri£¿ do not contain a single bibliographic unit from which it is possible to find out that Krle£¿a ever wrote anything regarding that Croatian Renaissance philosopher. This paper proves that there should have been at least four bibliographic units %K Key words %K Miroslav Krle£¿a %K Frane Petri£¿ %K Benedetto Croce %K Emilij Laszowsky %K Kruno Krsti£¿ %K poetry %K philosophy %K aestethics %K poetics %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=292990
