Revision as of 16:11, 6 November 2008
Junije (Džono) Palmotić, (also Junius Palmotta; Dubrovnik, November 7th 1608 - Dubrovnik, July 6th 1657) was a Croatian baroque writer, nobleman, and dramatist from the Republic of Ragusa (today Dubrovnik).
The Junije's parents were Džore (Georgius de Palmotta) Palmotić and Ora (Uršula de Gradi) Gradić, who was related to the House of Gundulić family. Ore was close cousin of Dživa, the mother of great poet Ivan Gundulić, which made Junije his nephew. Ore and Džive were the daughters of two Gradić's (brothers Pavlo and Miho). He had an older brother Džore and younger Ivan, who died young in his childhood.
Not much is known about his schooling, but we know that he must have attended city school as it was mandatory for male nobles. We know that he attended a private school which was opened in 1619 by the Jesuits and in which, for the next few generations, was lectured by the Giovanni de Gradi/Ivan Gradić, Ignazio Tudisi/Ignjat Tudišević, Marino de Gondola/Marin Gundulić, Giovanni Darza/Ivan Dražić and Bartolomeo Kasich/Bartul Kašić. As Palmotić's teachers in that school, Stefano de Gradi/Stjepan Gradić especially mentions Ignazio Tudisi/Ignjat Tudišević and Senese Italian, Camillo Gori.
When he was eighteen years old he became a member of the Great Council in the Republic of Ragusa. He began to write while still young, writing like continuator the tradition of Ivan Gundulić inspired by Ovid, Virgil, Tasso and Ariosto. Although influenced by the Latin literary tradition, Palmotić wrote in his native Croatian language.
He translated the Christias di Girolamo Vida, the Christiade, "Illyrian" poem in 24 verses, that was posthumously published in Rome 1670.
Although his poetry is melodramatic and deals primarily with mythological topics, his drama focuses on contemporary Dubrovnik, particularly the life of the aristocracy.
He was fortunate to have a great friend your nephew, in the form of Stjepan Gradić, ambassador and Vatican librarian, who wrote about his life, supplying precious material to the future biographers.
All the works of Palmotić were published by the end of the XIX century, by the Croatian Cultural Association
