Italian Poetry in early modern Dalmatia: The Strange Case of Hanibal Lucić (1485-1553)

The article announces the discovery of Sonetti di messer Anibal Lucio Lesignano, scritti a diversi, a collection of poems written in Italian by Hanibal Lucić (1485-1553), one of the leading poets of the Croatian Renaissance. Until now, scholars have known only one book by Lucić, his Croatian collection entitled Skladanja izvarsnih pisan razlicih, published posthumously by Hanibal’s son Antun. Like Skladanja, Lucić’s Sonetti were published in Venice in 1556, in a beautiful quarto edition produced by Francesco Marcolini, the printer of Skladanja. The article describes this hitherto unknown publication and explains how it was discovered. An edition of the book’s contents is provided at the end of the article in the hope that Lucić’s Italian verse will be studied by scholars on both sides of the Adriatic, and beyond. Lucić’s Sonetti constitute an important document in the essentially multilingual history of the European Renaissance in this part of the world, and they remind us how our focus on national literatures has in some cases rendered the multilingual aspects of the Renaissance tradition practically invisible.
