VRJEDNOTE I ZALIHE MARULIĆEVE JUDITE
VALUES AND STOCKS OF MARULIĆʼS JUDITH

Summary/Abstract: With poem Judith, the enterprising Marulić calls for a courageous individual act and strengthening of the literature development in the Croatian expression. Referring to an independent renaissance vision, the construction of literature also arises, parallel with the historical reality, i.e. with transferred representation, the creative subject writes and spreads reality. The paper points out the autopoetic vows to biblical and classical, oral and written heritage („bašćina“) and indicates the mediations and vital deviations from the recognized achievements. The abyssal intersections of poetic meanings stand out in particular, as well as external contexts and echoes, which leads to shifted methodological settings and different interpretive forces. Initially, the analysis of the first edition, along with comparisons with selected editions, reveals the verticals of the literary values of the poem, the indelible stock of meanings in which it emanates, and purposefully mirrors the distinct beauty.
