Ka\u010di\u0107\u2019s intercession for the written historical truth, which he found in Latin and Italian texts, to offer it in turn to \u201cpoor peasants and fishermen\u201d in his ten-syllable verse of folk poetry, reveals the rationality of his engagement in the enlightenment of the Croatian people, who have not so far been the targeted audience of literary works. The work of Ka\u010di\u0107 was also a mark of national and literary sensibility. Regardless of how much Ka\u010di\u0107 cared for the historical facticity, his poems are still today recognized as the thematic link of Croatian literature between the Illyrian movement writers and the 16th and 17th century writers. Ka\u010di\u0107\u2019s Pisma od ku\u0107e Frankopanovi\u0107a enters into direct connection with Glavini\u0107\u2019s Cvit svetih and the topic of Croatian victory over the Tartar, much exploited by the Croatian writers of Romanticism. The same poem is a notable criticism of those poets and \u2018folk singers\u2019 who do not respect, or know, historical facticity. This article is an intertextual analysis of the narrative core and the family tree in the mentioned poem and in Glavini\u0107\u2019s Latin dedication \u201cIllustrissimo d.d. comiti Wolfgango Christophoro de Frangepanis\u201c in Cvit svetih. The aim is to put forward the results of this contrastive analysis so as to amend a common misconception in international Slavonic Studies pertaining to Ka\u010di\u0107\u2019s sources for Pisma od ku\u0107e Frankopanovi\u0107a, and to confirm the hypothesis that parts of Ka\u010di\u0107\u2019s Korabljica were used as sources for some poems in Razgovor ugodni, i.e. that the former were written prior to the first edition of Razgovor in 1756. In addition, the article analyses Ka\u010di\u0107\u2019s key methods in rewriting and re-stylising the original Latin text and its adaptation into a Croatian ten-syllable verse poem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
