By completing the texts that we publish in this jubilee edition dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the Sisak victory, we wanted to present the echo of a famous historical event - the Sisak victory from 1593, a victory celebrated in Croatian literature with drama, epic and folk song.
From the review:
Finally, it should be noted that Jembrih's discovery is a true gem for Croatian literary history, especially dramatic literature. Another one was added to the unknown number of preserved, but subsequently found, Jesuit dramatic works, a work by a Croatian author with a theme from Croatian history. This fact, as well as the author's meticulous editorial and scientifically lucid approach to the problem, guarantee the quality of this undertaking. Naizgled sitno ovo pravo znanstveno otkriće unosi mnogo novoga svjetla u povijest isusovačkoga kazališta u Hrvatskoj, prinos je općoj slici hrvatskoga baroknoga glumišta i nezatajivo svjedoči o onodobnoj visokoj književnoj i kazališnoj kulturi hrvatskoga naroda.
