Summary
Rajmund Kunić: Epigrammata - Nunc pimum in lucem edita
Ragusii
Typis Antonii Martecchini
MDCCCXXVII.
Ten years after Kunić's death, Giuseppe Marotti, Kunić's friend, published a small part of the epigram. Patriotic fervor prompted the Franciscan Antun Agić to research and transcribe many of Kunić's manuscripts from various sources in Rome in 1807.
However, the greatest merit is that most of Kunić's poems today rest in the archives of the Franciscan Rafu Radelja monastery of the Little Brothers in Dubrovnik. He, either out of patriotism, or out of scientific and scholarly curiosity, collected numerous sources of Kunić's works: autographs or copies that were in the possession of his friends (Baldassare Odescalchij, Maria Pizzeli, Senator Abundi Rezzonico, his student Francesco Cancellieri and others) and in 1827 prepared an edition of Epigrams (Epigrammata. Nuc primum in lucem edita, Epigrams, translated: "Now first disclosed"). That edition contains about 1,000 epigrams, and the manuscript, that is, Radelja's transcription of Kunić's epigrams (kept in the archives of the Little Friars monastery in Dubrovnik, under number 1156) contains about 4,000 epigrams. It should also be mentioned that the said archive contains 32 manuscripts of Kunić's texts, i.e. 20 autographs, most of which are unpublished.
Rajmund Kunić (Dubrovnik, January 17, 1719 - Rome, November 2, 1794), Croatian linguist, writer and translator from ancient Greek and Latin.
