Sažetak
Marulić's moral theological work De institutione bene uiuendi per exempla sanctorum (1506) is a collection of saints' lives and inspiring episodes from the Holy Scripture which have been narratively transformed into a literary form of exemplum. Set out to provide spiritual edification by means of moral examples, De institutione especially addresses the ascetic female readers (virgins and widows). In doing so, Marulić's practical moral narrative does not develop a systematic conceptualisation of virginity, while in Euangelistarium (1516), a moral and theological work complementary to De institutione, virginity is elaborated upon extensively, mostly according to 1 Corinthians 7 and Jerome's exegesis on virginity. Based on these notions, the intention of this paper is to focus on the discourse of virginity and female asceticism in Marulić's writings. More specifically, this paper will examine Marulić’s exemplification of female hagiography in De institutione with special regard to the phenomenon of gender transformation which was characteristical for early types of female sanctity.
