Summary

Sabo Bobaljević Mišetić: Rime amorosa, e pastorali, et satire, del Mag. Sauino De Bobali Sordo, gentil'huomo Raguseo

Bobaljević Mišetić, Sabo (Savino de Bobali Sordo), Croatian poet (Dubrovnik, 1529 or 1530 – Dubrovnik, 1585). He became deaf in his youth, so he got the nickname Glušac (Sordo in Italian), which is on the cover of his Italian canconiere. He wrote in Italian and in Croatian. In 1589, his brothers printed the Italian canconiere Love and pastoral poems and satires (Rime amorose, e pastorali, et satire), while his Croatian poems remained unpublished and survived in a small number. The first part of Bobaljević's canconiere contains Petrarchan love songs, which are reminiscent of Petrarca in their arrangement - they sing to Donna during her lifetime, and then also after her death. The second part, more sensual than the first, consists of sonnets with a pastoral theme dedicated to D. Ranjina, and the third autobiographical satires in which Bobaljević leaves evidence of his extensive social life, debates with literary opponents and ironically plays with his own illness. Bobaljević's Italian verses, which often combine love's pain with physical suffering, thus refreshing the Petrarchist convention, were once well received by Italian anthologists. His work in Croatian is small (only 14 songs), but very interesting. It contains the successful Jeđupka, which speaks extensively to only one lady, the octogenarian prelude to Tasso's epilogue Aminte, Ariadne's lament for Theseus inspired by Ovid's tenth hero, two epistles to M. Pelegrinović and M. Mažibradić, the first interesting because of its autobiography and self-irony, and the second because of its passionate, devastating of rhetoric, several love poems with conventional themes that stand out for their economy of expression and antitheticism, one polymetric Anacreontic poem dedicated to Bacchus and others.
