Erasmus and Marko Marulić

As for Marulić’s possible influence on Erasmus, at least two of Marulić’s works in which he deals with the problem of war and peace were published before Erasmus’ earliest treatise in which he deals with peace “Dulce bellum inexpertis”. The importance of Marulić’s writings on peace lies not so much their originality (the unambiguous sources of Marulić’s doctrine about peace were: Thucydides, Cicero, Augustine and Nicolas of Lyra ; we know that because of his Repositorium) ; the importance lies in his syncretistic tendencies and in his revival of this almost forgotten topic. In those works (especially in the Evangelistarium) Marulić tackled some issues which were later developed in a much more elaborated way by Erasmus. Despite the fact that Marulić allowed for some forms of the “just war” more explicitly than Erasmus, it is nevertheless perspicuous that in Marulić’s writings the accent started a slow movement from the appraisal of “bellum iustum” to “pax ęterna”. The full development of this point is to be found in Erasmus, passim.
