Latin

His European fame rested mainly on his works written in Latin which had been published and re-published during 16th and 17th centuries and translated into many languages. De institutione bene vivendi per exempla sanctorum (1498) is a moralist tractate of Biblical inspiration. Evanglistarium (1500) a systematic discourse on ethical principles, and Davidias from 1504 a religious epic which fused Biblical motifs and Antique, Virgilian poetics. However, Marulić's Latin works of devotional and religious provenance, once adored and envied across Europe, shared the destiny that befell the genre in past two centuries: they vanished into oblivion.

Croatian

In the works written in Croatian language Marulić achieved permanent stature and position that remained uncontested. His central Croatian oeuvre, epic poem Judita (1521), is based on the Biblical tale from a Deuterocanonical Book of Judith, written in Croatian language (more specifically, Chakavian dialect). His other works in Croatian are: Poetry (ancient Greek: poieo = create) is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. ...

In his works he is neither aesthetically nor stylistically superior to the works of his Dubrovnik predecessors. Three puzzling facts tend to raise questions: Dubrovnik (Latin Ragusa), population 43,770 in 2001, 49,728 in 1991 is a port and one of the most prominent tourist resorts on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, and the center of the Dubrovnik-Neretva county, positioned at 42. ...

• Marulić's Croatian work is aesthetically plainly inferior to the lyric poetry of Hanibal Lucić and dramatic vitality of Marin Držić.
• His dialectal idiom was a rather archaic and did not play important role in the process of standardization of Croatian language — unlike the poetic and prose expression of writers from Dubrovnik, Korčula and Hvar like Hanibal Lucić and Petar Hektorović.
• Even chronology-wise, Džore Držić and Šiško Menčetić wrote in essentially modern Croatian Shtokavian dialect some 3 decades before him.

Marulić's national eminence is due to happy confluence of some other facts: no one of his contemporaries or predecessors had achieved fame during his lifetime. Also, his deeply patriotic and Catholic verses had assimilated frequently superficial and imitative poetry of his southern compatriots and transformed it into an epitome of Croatian national destiny. His Judith representing Croatian people fighting Ottoman Empire invasion – Marulić remained the ineradicable center of Renaissance Croatian patriotism – of Croathood itself. That is why his stature as the father of Croatian literature is secure and unshakeable. Marin Držić (1508-1567) is considered the finest Croatian Renaissance playwright and prose writer. ...
