Poetical Philosophy of Frane Petrić and Literary Poetics of the Sixteenth Century

Autorica u svojoj studiji istražuje izvore poetičke filozofije creškog renesansnog filozofa Frane Petrića (Franciscus Patritius, Cres, 1529 - Rim, 1597), posebice kroz nekoliko zasebnih tematskih cjelina obuhvaćenih Petrićevim komentarima, raspravama i dijalozima koji pripadaju ranijem razdoblju njegova formiranja od 1553. do 1577. g.: rasprava o pjesničkim zanosima (Discorso della diversitii de\u27 furori poetici), tumačenje Petrarkinog soneta (Lettura sopra il sonetto del Petrarca »La gola, e \u27I sonno, e I\u27ociose piume«), komentar rima L. Contilea (Le rime di Messer Luca Contile ... ), ljubavna filozofija (L \u27amorosafilosofia), dijalog o poljupcu (Il Delfino overo del bacio). Analizirajući temeljne postavke i značajke Petrićeve teorije pjesništva i književne kritike, njegovu teoriju zanosa, fenomen pjesničkog talenta, odnos pjesništva i filozofije, te neke aspekte Petrićeve filozofije lijepog i ljubavi (filozofski, teološki, književni, ali i psihološki i biološki), autorica utvrđuje sastavnice njegova mišljenja koje duguje bogatom filozofskom i teološkom nasljeđu, hermetičkom, antičkom, srednjovjekovnom kršćanskom mišljenju i, najposlije, korespondencije (ali i razlike i posebnosti) s poetikološkim i estetičkim teorijama njegova vremena (T. Thsso, G. Bruno i dr.), posebice s renesansnim neoplatonizmom i petrarkizmom. Autorica konačno ukazuje na one koncepcije po kojima ova djela, ne uvijek i u svemu izvorna i nova, ostaju značajna za Petrićevo kasnije sustavno bavljenje teorijom pjesništva (Della Poetica) i suodrediva budućemu književnoteorijskom i filozofskom mišljenju.The authoress investigates the sources of the poetical philosophy of the Renaissance philosopher Frane Petrić (Franciscus Patritius, Cres, Croatia 1529 -Rome 1597), especially through several separate thematic wholes comprised in Petrić\u27s commentaries, treatises and dialogues belonging to the early period of his work, from 1553 to 1577: a treatise on poetical furors (Discorso della diversita de\u27 furori poetici), an interpretation of Petrarch\u27s sonnet »La gola, e \u27I sonno, e I\u27ociose piume« (Lettura sopra il sonetto del Petrarca »La gola, e \u27l sonno, e l\u27ociose piume«), a commentary of Luca Contile\u27s rhymes (Le rime di Messer Luca Contile ... ), love philosophy (Uamorosa filosofia), a dialogue discussing the kiss (Il Delfino Dvera del bacio). Analyzing the basic postulates and characteristics of Petrić\u27s theory of poetry and literary criticism, his theory of furor, the phenomenon of poetic talent, the relation between poetry and philosophy, and some aspects of Petrić\u27s philosophy of beauty and love (the philosophical, theological and literary aspects, as well as the psychological and biological ones), the authoress points at the components of his thought that owe a great deal to the rich philosophical and theological heritage, to the Hermetic, classical Greek, medieval Christian thought and, finally, to the correspondence (differences and peculiarities too) between his work and the poeticological and esthetical theories of his time (Torquato Tasso, Giordano Bruno and others), especially the Renaissance Neoplatonism and Petrarchism. The authoress finally points at the concepts according to which these texts, although not completely original and new, remain important for Petrić\u27s late systematic work concerning poetics (Della Poetica) and also comparable to the literary theories and philosophical thought of the future
