Sažetak
Antonio Rosaneo (Korčula, 30 October 1524 – probably Korčula, c. 1580?), a member of a patrician family from Korčula and the archdeacon of the Korčula cathedral chapter, in August 1571 led a successful defense of the city of Korčula, on the eponymous island, from an attack of the Ottoman fleet under the command of Occhiali (Uluj Ali, pasha of Algiers) ; the operations were a prelude to the Battle of Lepanto, fought in the Ionian Sea in October 1571. The Korčula event was seen as miraculous, because there was no Venetian military presence on the island, and the city was defended by some 150 local people. Later Rosaneo described the event in a Latin history under the title Vauzalis sive Occhialinus, Algerii Prorex, Corcyram Melaenam terra marique oppugnat nec expugnat. Relatio historica Antonii Rosenei. The history is preserved in six manuscripts, it exists in at least two versions (one dedicated to Nicolò da Ponte as Doge of Venice ; da Ponte was in office 1578– 1585), it has been translated into Italian and Croatian and published six times from 1871 on (there are three editions of Latin text, but none of them takes into consideration all manuscripts). Until now there have been few interpretations of Rosaneo's work, and it had been considered as a document of local history, a memorial to courage and piety of the people of Korčula. Rosaneo, however, took much care to compose a non-fiction literary work in Latin. My claim is that his writing produces Korčula as a social space, and that new insights will be gained if we read Vauzalis sive Occhialinus... from that aspect, along the lines of Henri Lefebvre's La Production de l'espace (1974) and its application to Pindar's choral lyric in Kurke and Neer Pindar, Song, and Space: Towards a Lyric Archaeology (2019).
