He didn't write anything in Italian

edit

Marko Marulić didn't write anything in Italian. He wrote only in Latin and Croatian. This Italian site has the complete bibliography: [1]. Therefore, there is no reason to include the Italian version of the name only because Venice ruled his hometown during his lifetime. --Zmaj 11:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Let's suppose you are right: Marco Marulo is referncied: so you have to leave it where he is.--Giovanni Giove 20:26, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
The debate here largely ignores the complexities and specificities of Marco Marulic's culture. He was a native of Venetian-controlled Split, clearly identifying with the dominant Romance language-speaking society ruling the place. These were the governors, administrators, bishops, military commanders, teachers and scholars who spoke Latin, the Venetian dialect or some Romance lingua franca, whether they were Venetian, imported from other regions in the Italian peninsular or locally born. Importantly, Marko himself also acknowledged the Slavic-speaking community which obviously embodied the majority vernacular language in the Dalmatian region, namely, Croatian, Hrvatski or as he put in a famous work, "haruacchi". This writer and intellectual figure consciously reflected both aspects. He is a symbiotic figure like Hektorovic, Drzic and Gundulic, epitomising the essence of a multilayered Dalmatian culture which developed from Roman, Slav and Venetian influences. When we talk today of him being an Italian or a Croat with our modern, post-19 Century nationalistic sensibilities we are seeking to oversimplify who he was ethnically, culturally and liguistically. We need to detach our own contemporary worldview from the historical account. The same applies to the debates focused around Marco Polo, Juraj Dalmatinac and other Dalmatians. I wish upon you a cooling breeze.--Maestrale 13:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

About "Croatization' of history of Dalmazia

edit

The fact is that the idea of Croatia and Croats - as it could seen today - emerged in the second half of 19th century. It is baseless to extend the same idea in the past and apply on the people who never called themselves Croats and territories which never belonged to any Croatia in the past. Wikipedia is not a place for political propaganda. --Giorgio Orsini 12:54, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Read the history of Croatia and learn something. You could also check the article called cultural imperialism to understand what you're doing right now. --Zmaj 12:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I read more than your propaganda pamphlets. And, please, be civil.--Giorgio Orsini 13:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hypocrite! --Zmaj 13:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry but you are writing nonsense here. Marulić openly declared and wrote he is writing in Croatian. Also your hypothesis that the idea of Croats and Croatia emerged in 19th century is laughable. The idea of Croats and Croatia existed throughout history and was expressed by various people in Dalmatia. Not just ordinary people but people of meaning, people like Marulić, Držić, Vrančić and so on. So please why don't you stop with this nonsense and actually do something useful for Wikipedia. And stop vandalizing fine articles already. --No.13 14:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
It is those things written by people like GiorgioOrsini that should be reported to an administrator--his comments openly admit he does not believe the Croatian people existed until the second half of the 19th century. He writes off everything that contradicts him as "propaganda." Is there anyway he can be reported to stop his attacks against Croatia and its culture?? He doesnt even attempt to learn about Croatia, as can be seen. This is getting ridiculous--every Croatian should be insulted over this. And thank you Zmaj for introducing me to the cultural imperialism article. Now I have an official name on what he has been doing.--Jesuislafete 02:57, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Again I witness the historical facts offending our nationalist worldviews, ie that each "nation" must have an ethnically homogenous population and that multiculturalism only existed after 1953. And I note the desperate efforts made to defend the nationality of a figure who himself would not quite understand what the all the fuss is about. Let me remind you that Spalatto / Split was more of a city state within the Venetian Republic and Marulic's allegiences were to his Western European home town, and not Venice or Padua or Florence or Bologna or Rome. So we can remove the Italian designer label from his scholarly robes. Nor did Marulic ever harp on about King Tomislav's reign in the 10 tenth century or the Hungarian/Croatian Dual crown - and he would have known about this being a historian and a man of the church. We can therefore remove the "Made in Croatia" sticker from his spectacles. What he does truthfully reflect however by the language of his work is a culture informed by the two elements of Romance and Slav. The comments from Signore Orsini are not helpful. Likewise, the proponents on the Croatian side - though not the main offenders - should think a bit deeper as well.--Maestrale 14:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh my God the irony. So you Italians are same as Serbs. Italy was made up in 19th century! All nations were, but your country has been invented in 19th century! There is no Italy or Italians before unification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.252.243.108 (talk) 15:41, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

My edits

edit

My edits are logic and referencied. I invite Croatian users to list where I am wrong and, in the case, to change just the proper lines, without to perform edit wars (all togheter) and to insult me.--Giovanni Giove 20:40, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

No they are not logic nor referenced. Your supposed source has no mention of Marulić or his work. All international sources and scholars consider Marulić to be a Croat, including Encyclopedia Britannica and Italian mainstream sources, not counting those few right-wing extremists like yourself. Stop ruining this article, find some other amusment. --No.13 21:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
1) Marco Marulo is referencied
2) Marulo was not born in Croatia but in Dalmatia.
2) he wrote Italian poems
3) the old names of the cities were italian (see wikirules for historical names)
4) You, uncivil, do not insult!--Giovanni Giove 21:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
None of your arguments have any meaning. Show me the poems he wrote in Italian. And please some me one reference which mentions him as "Italian poet". --No.13 21:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I've listed the pushing POV you have inserted in the aricle such as 1) imposing modern Croatian names 2) you claim is Croatian but he is born in Dalmatia 3) you deleted the Italian name...
As a matter of fact, I don't deny you deny his Itlian side, it's not me that deny the slavic side.--Giovanni Giove 21:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Until you provide what other people here have asked from you we have nothing to say to each other. --No.13 21:22, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
So you REFUSE to answer... poor boy!--Giovanni Giove 21:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I repeat that my edits were sourced and that 1)The name Marco Marulo is referencied 2)Marulo was not born in Croatia but in Dalmatia (so he can be Italian and Slavic in the same tim e). ) he wrote Italian poems, so he is an Italian poet (that it is not against the fact that he wrote Illyric poems. 3) the old names of the cities were italian (see wikirules for historical names).--Giovanni Giove 15:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Enlighten us and shows us where in your source does it says he is Italian poet. Also I don't see what meaning does it has wheter he was born in Kingdom of Croatia ruled by Hungary or in Venetian Dalmatia. It is common knowledge that Croats were in fact majority in Dalmatia and that medieval Croatian kingdom was in fact based in Dalmatia. Also he wrote in Croatian language, those were his exact words, that is why he is "father of Croatian literature", because he openly declared his ethnicity. I would very much like to see any of his poems in Italian though since I never heard of it. I agree with Marco Marulo name though, it should be mentioned perhpahs. Also to remind you that Italy was founded in 1861, there was no Italy in Marulić's time. --No.13 15:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Someone denies here the existence of Croatian language, but the historical sources say that in the Marulić's time, he knew for "Croatian language", but at that time it wasn't used "Italian", for the languagename, but "lingua toscana". Does that mean that Italian language didn't existed? No. It was named under regional name, just as was Croatian historically also> named after its historical provinces ("dalmatinski, ilirički, slavonski, bosanski").

Nonsences by Giovanni Giove

edit
   1) Marco Marulo is referencied

As well as Jackie Chan , Bruce Lee.... So what?? Artistic names for the foreigners... Do you know they their real names ? Off course not, because you can not pronounce them!!

   2) Marulo was not born in Croatia but in Dalmatia.

In that case Dante Alighieri , Michealngelo ,da Vinci were not italian artists, scientists at all . they were not born in Italy , neither Italy existed in time. And nobody called Rome, Venice, Florence ,Naples as Italian

   2) he wrote Italian poems

your counting is not too good! 3 .

if you are saying the truth and Marulić was writting in toscany language ..... George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce have have been writting in English , but they were not English.

Btw, there was no Italy at that time. Neither Split was italian ever . So these his (never unrevealed) poems might belong to Dalmatia, Croatia, etc. Surely not to Italy.

   3) the old names of the cities were italian (see wikirules for historical names)

Another fake !! Old names were either Illyric, either Greek or Latin.

Surely not Italian !!

   4) You, uncivil, do not insult!--Giovanni Giove 21:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC) 

Here we go ! Bingo!!! a high -class civilized irredenta boy... Looking for uncivilized:take a look at a mirror!!

Is there any way to stop those two guys:Giorgio Orsini and Giovanni Giove?? Just spitting out their irredenta propaganda. and at the same time accusing for the things they are doing themselves??

Or we should bring here Roberto Menia

University of Padova

edit

Here is a website of the Italian University of Padova about Marko Marulić. http://marulianum.storia.unipd.it/

On that are list his Croatian works (Opere croate) and Latin works (Opere latine). No any mention of his works in Italian (Toscan or Venetian ) language.


No mather that in the biography of him in Italian is mentiooend his italianized name , the name of the article Marko Marulić (1450-1524)


So much about Italianhood of Marko Marulić. lol --Anto 05:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

In the website you are talking about it is written "compose le sue opere in tre lingue: latino, croato e italiano". Just at the beginning.
Anyway the problem of is nationality is easly solved by the words of Francesco Natali.
As we can read by his words Marulo's family had a mixt eritage (his mother's family name was "Alberti" but her name was "Dobriza") but his mother language was "illirian" (=croat).
So, if we consider the mother language, we should have no doubt to consider him as a croat; a croat with also italian origin.

Well , he probably was making experiments with poems in Italian. But , obviously that part of his opus was not neither so important As latin and Croatian. I guess that was the reason for not being mentioned there at all by professors from Padua. --Anto (talk) 19:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Croatian Works Section

edit

"American historian John Van Antwerp Fine, Jr. emphasizes that Marulić belongs to a group of humanists and clerics placed in the "Croat" camp who, at least at the time they wrote their texts, did not seem to have a Croatian ethnic identity.[8]"

The reference quoting John Van Antwerp Fine, Jr. shouldn't be in the article considering it does not contribute any useful information except to discredit any reference to Marko Marulić being a Croat. It should be noted that Venetian and other authors of Italian ethnicity only wrote in Italian or Latin during the existence of the Venetian Republic. Marko Marulić wrote his major work 'Judita', stating in the foreword, '...u versih haruacchi slozhena' - '...arranged in Croatian verses'. The adjective 'haruacchi' is important as it shows Croatian as the language he chose to write in - 'hrvatski' in modern Croatian. Had he been anything other than a Croat, he wouldn't have chosen to write in a language he himself called 'Croatian'. A high percentage of people in Dalmatia at the time were illiterate, and Venetians only spoke Italian and Latin, therefore Marko Marulić would have had to have good reason to call his language Croatian and to write in a language that would, in the eyes of Venetians, have been obscure, alien and of no importance. There would be no reason to call his language Croatian were it not for the fact that he was a Croat. When Marko Marulić was born, Split was already a part of the Venetian Republic and therefore no one can argue that he chose to call his language 'Croatian' based on the political entity he lived in. He lived in the Republic of Venice and he chose to write in Croatian, a Slavic language that Venetians couldn't read or understand. What would make a writer of his prominence do so unless he personally felt a connection with Croatian ethnicity.

It should be noted that in his work, John Van Antwerp Fine, Jr. writes a conclusion - not a fact. There is no evidence or reference in any of the works by Marko Marulić where he explicitly stated that he did or did not feel Croatian. He did state his language as Croatian however. This would be akin to saying that because, during his lifetime, Leonardo Da Vinci never stated he felt Italian, he was therefore not Italian. It should be noted that in a critical review written by professor Neven Budak of the University of Zagreb, Budak (https://hrcak.srce.hr/49246?lang=en) stated "ideological prejudices", "omission of historical facts" and "preconceived conclusions" about John Van Antwerp's work partly because in the book John Van Antwerp exposes his personal bias regarding former Yugoslavia which shouldn't be a part of academic work of this nature. Furthermore John Van Antwerp Fine, Jr has family members with links to former Yugoslavia that could have influenced his writing.
