Catholic Advocate of the Evangelical Truth: Marcus Marulus (Marko Marulic) of Split (1450-1524): Collected Works Volume 5

Eight studies on the life and work of Marcus Marulus of Split (1450-1524) are assembled here under the title Catholic Advocate of the Evangelical Truth. They focus on what Marulus and Martin Luther have in common; on Maruluss Carmen Christ Speaking from the Cross; on his metaphors for empires in his Latin works and in comparison with the contemporary German Humanist Ulrich von Hutten; on Maruluss open letter to the pope; on his reading of the four volumes of the illustrated Biblia Latina and samples of the marginalia which he entered; on his understanding of the Rock in Matthew 16:18; on the Tree of the Cross and other early Latin poetry; and on his view of Christian-Muslim relations.
