Marko Marulić

Marko Marulić was born in Split in 1450, into a patrician family. He trained at Padua, then spent his life in his Dalmatian city and in a hermitage on the neighbouring island. His European renown came from the fact that he wrote in Latin, and notably from a treatise on Christian morality reprinted for two centuries, translated into Italian, German, Portuguese and French, which Thomas More read and Francis Xavier took with him. He also wrote in the language of his country and in Italian, corresponded with the humanists of his time, and bequeathed his property to the poor of his city, where he died on 5 January 1524.
