Sažetak
This article was prompted by a facsimile reprint of a copy of Judita (1521) in the library of the Franciscan Friars Minor Priory in Dubrovnik. This is the third fully facsimile edition of Marulić’s poem to appear as a separate book. The first facsimile reprint of the first edition of Judita of 1521 was undertaken by the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1950, marking the 5th centenary of the birth of Marko Marulić. The 1522 edition of Judita, the most richly illustrated with woodcuts, had a facsimile reprint in 2001 thanks to the Croatian community in Milan, the reprint being edited by Snježana Susović Hefti and appearing in Riccardo Hefti’s Heftiedizioni imprint. The most recent facsimile reprint, published by Split City Museum, has been produced according to excellent digitisation in high quality printing that, notwithstanding minor shortcomings in graphic design, enables highly faithful reproduction of the original copy. As well as in separate facsimile reprints, copies of Marulić’s epic have several times been produced in editions furnished with notes and comments (for example, that of Školska knjiga in Zagreb, 1991, edited by Mirko Tomasović ; Matica hrvatska, 1998, edited by Milan Moguš). Although they do permit an inspection of the original text, from the technical and visual viewpoint the reproductions of the pages of the original copy of Judita are in these publications at the level of superior photocopies, and here, as with other, similar, editions, it is not possible to speak of a facsimile in the full sense of the word. A direct inspection of the original printed text of Judita is also enabled by that type of copy of Marulić’s poem in which reproductions of the individual pages of the original are printed a fronte, i.e., each page is faced with a modernised treatment of Marulić’s verses (Matica hrvatska, 2003, edited by Marko Grčić). These facsimile versions of Judita demonstrate the differences in the approaches of the editors and in the technical capacities of the times in which they were produced. The most recent reprint is founded on a digital technology that, apart from the making of a high quality physical copy also offers the possibility of easy and rapid access to virtual doubles of the earliest copies of Milan Pelc: Marulićeva Judita između faksimila i virtualnih dvojnika 7 the work. Copies of all five old editions of Marulić’s epic (of 1521, 1522, 1523, 1586 and 1627), kept in Zagreb, Zadar, Munich and Dubrovnik, can be consulted rapidly and unrestrictedly via the Internet, which must surely open up new spaces for the better acquaintance with and more comprehensive study of Marulić’s work.
