PIER
PAOLO VERGERIO IL GIOVANE E "RASGOVARANGE MEGIU PAPISTU I GEDNIM
LUTERAN" (I COLLOQUI FRA UN PAPISTA E UN LUTERANO)

SINTESI
Rasgovarange megiu Papistu i gednim Luteran, il primo libro
protestante croato, fu scritto da un autore ignoto, firmatosi con lo pseudonimo
di Anton Senjanin (Antonio da Segna). Gli stessi esperti discordano sull'attribuzione
del volume. Nel presente studio si analizza il testo originario di Razgovarange,
soprattutto dal punto di vista teologico, per comprendere le relazioni fra quest'opera
e Pier Paolo Vergerio il Giovane, che diffuse il Vangelo in Istria, scrisse
numerose opere polemiche e contribuì alla pubblicazione e alla diffusione
dei testi riformati in lingua croata.

SUMMARY
Peter Paul Vergerius, Jr., left noticeable and various traces
in Croatian cultural and religious history. In Istra he distinguished himself as
a strong and consistent announcer of the Gospel, whose sermons were enjoyed by
the people from all social classes. As a tireless, clever and steady polemicist
he left us numerous works in Latin and Italian language. The work Rasgovarange
megiu Papistu i gednim Luteran (in continuation Razgovaranje) is also attributed
to him, which is known to be the first printed protestant work written in
Croatian.
Razgovaranje is a booklet which arouses much enthusiasm with
its directness, wit and picturesqueness. In it a Papist sets forty most
important theological questions to a Lutheran, who provides the answers. A good
knowledge of the essence of the Roman-Catholic and Evangelical teachings, the
history of Church and especially the Bible as the only criterion in
distinguishing the orthodoxy of individual teachings are evident in the essay.
The Papist's questions express in detail the attitudes of Catholic teachers and
believers. The Lutheran gives a short answer to each question, with which he
explains the essence of the reformation teachings.
This discussion wishes to establish the relation between this
exceptional work and P. P. Vergerius with an analysis of the original text.
Key words: Protestantism, Istra, Peter Paul Vergerius, Jr.
