Matija Frkić as an Interpreter and Critic of Tasso: »Osservationi sopra il Goffredo del Signor Torquato Tasso«

Autorica u svojoj studiji raspravlja o teološko-filozofsko-povijesnom tumačenju Tassova herojskog spjeva Matije Frkića (Ferchius, Krk, 23. I. 1583 - Padova, 8. IX. 1669), mislitelja čiji je opus vezan uz povijest skotizma i aristotelizma. Kroz prikaz Frkićeve historiografske metodologije, interpretativnog postupka, obrazlaganja namjere, teza i argumenata njegove kršćansko-skolastički provedene egzegeze jednog književno pjesničkog teksta neknjiževnim mjerilima, koji se usredotočuju na metafizičko- religioznu dimenziju Tassova djela, njegovih izvora, ključnih pojmova njegove poetike i središnjih tema spjeva, filozofsko-književne, duhovno-idejne, vjersko-političke komponente kulture 15. i 16. st, te njegova autora kao teološkog i katoličkog pjesnika, utvrđuje se značenje i mjesto ovog Frkićeva djela (Padova, 1642) kao jednog od mogućih čitanja \u27lassa. U Frkićevim razmatranjima, tumačenjima i kritici autorica nalazi artikulirane neke bitne odrednice razdoblja protu reformacije, među ostalima religioznog spiritualizma i ideologije. U hrvatskoj i europskoj povijesti tumačenja i prosudbi Tassova pjesništva, kontroverzi i polemika, napada i obrana, sudjelovanje Frkića i Petrića zanimljivo je i nezaobilazno kako za tasologe, povjesničare filozofije, estetike, književnosti i kulture, tako i za povjesničare, te crkvene povjesničare.The authoress discusses Matija Frkić\u27s (Mathias Ferchius Veglensis, Krk, January 23, 1583 - Padua, September 8, 1669) theological-philosophical-historical interpretation of Tasso\u27s epic poem Gerusalemme liberata. Frkić was a thinker whose work was closely connected with the history of Scotism and Aristotelism. The significance and the historical position of Frkić\u27s work (Padua, 1642) is established as one of the possible readings of Tasso through an explication of Frkić\u27s historiographical methodology, his interpretative process, an expoundation of the aims, theses and arguments of his non-literary, Scholastic exegesis of a literary poetic text. The exegesis focuses on the meta physical-religious plane of Tasso\u27s work, its sources, the key terms of the poetics and the central issues of the poem, as well as on the philosophical-literary, speculative and the religious-political components of culture in the 15th and 16th centuries, and on Tasso regarded as a Catholic theological poet. In Frkić\u27s considerations, interpretations and critique, the authoress bas observed certain important characteristics of the Counter Reformation period, among others the currents of religious spiritualism and ideology. In the history of European and Croatian evaluations of Tasso’s poetry, the controversies and polemics, refutations and defenses, the roles of Frkić and Petrić (Franciscus Patritius, Cres, April, 25, 1529 - Rome, February, 7, 1597), respectively, are of great importance to the Tassologists, historians of philosophy, esthetics, literature and culture, as well as to the historians of politics and Christian Church
