Francesco Maturanzio’s Correspondence with Nicholas of Modruš

This article discusses the correspondence between a Croato- Dalmatian prelate at the papal curia, Nicholas bishop of Modruš, and a Perugian humanist Francesco Maturanzio, who for more than two years, from the spring of 1472 until the summer of 1474, enjoyed the loose patronage of the bishop. Maturanzio spent most of this period studying Greek on Rhodes and the majority of the letters are in fact his reports to the patron in faraway Rome on his own personal affairs and the turbulent political events in the East. The article analyzes and contextualizes the correspondence while chronicling Francesco Maturanzio’s and Nicholas of Modruš’s client-patron relationship. Finally, the appendix includes an edition of the correspondence.
