New Contributions to the Biography of Antun Medo (c. 1546–1603)

U radu se prikazuje životopis Antuna Mede (oko 1546 – 1603), dubrovačkog trgovca pučanina i filozofa, ukorijenjen u društveno-povijesni kontekst Dubrovnika druge polovice 16. stoljeća. Ponekad nekritički preuzimani od Ignjata Đurđevića (1675 – 1737) i drugih starih biografa istaknutih Dubrovčana, podaci u dosadašnjoj literaturi ovdje se ispravljaju i proširuju na temelju saznanja nastalih arhivskim istraživanjem.This paper presents the biography of Antun Medo (c. 1546–1603), a Ragusan commoner merchant and an Aristotelian philosopher, firmly embedded in its sociohistorical context of the second half of the 16th-century Ragusa. At times uncritically taken over from Ignazio Giorgi (1675–1737) and other early biographers of prominent Ragusan authors and scholars, biographical information about Antun Medo is here corrected, expanded upon, and contextualized on the basis of novel insights gained through archival research
