MARKO MARULIĆ IN HISTORY TEXTBOOKS FOR GRAMMAR SCHOOL

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the presence of Marko Marulić in history textbooks for gram￾mar school in the Republic of Croatia in the periods of Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Croatia. Learning and studying history through history classes are essential in the process of forming knowledge and attitude that students will carry with themselves and apply in their future lives, whereas history textbooks are increasingly attracting research interest. Textbook historiography and the education system have changed within the observed period, from the end of World War II to the present day. In Croatian history, the period of Marulić was marked with Turkish incursions that constantly endangered Croatian ground, which was gradually conquered and the period of humanism and renaissance. The research followed the context in which Marulić appeared, as well as the contents through which he is presented in the history textbooks, within which this great man of the Croatian and European history and literature is not taught primarily as in literature textbooks. It also followed the differences in presentation and representation of Marulić in history textbooks of the monitored period resulting from various changes of the education system and countries.
