Family Ties and Written Multilingual Heritage of the Frankapani at the Dawn of the Early Modern Period

In the second half of the fifteenth and the first half of the sixteenth century the Frankapani of Krk, Senj, and Modruš were at the peak of their power. This family of Croatian counts was by marriage networked from the Adriatic to the Baltic Sea with Italian, Hungarian, Austrian, and German royal and aristocratic families. Their presence in the courts of their first of kin, as well as their in-laws, is therefore not surprising, whether it be the Roman Curia or the Hohenzollern Branderburger Palace in Berlin. In such a wide communications system, the Frankapani presented themselves to the European public as a multilingual family ready to promulgate not only the written heritage nurtured during the Middle Ages in Croatia (Latin and Glagolitic), but also ready to adopt, promote, and disseminate the written heritage of their spouses (Italian, German, Hungarian).

The Frankapani of Krk, Senj, and Modruš, the “German-Roman Breviary”, the anti-Turkish speech “Oratio pro Croatia”, the translated epistles of Saint Paul “Epistolae Pavli lingva Hvngarica donatae”, prayer book “Hortulus Animae”, (Self)promotion, Sixteenth Century
