On the influence of Byzantine culture on Renaissance Dubrovnik and Dalmatia

Byzantine judicial and institutional heritage, as well as Roman cultural tradition, is built into the foundations of medieval Dalmatian communes. In the early medieval period they formed a specific identity that united western European Christian values with political, judicial, artistic, religious and other influences from Byzantium. The article discusses cultural influences brought to Dalmatian cities by Greek scholars after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, and particularly to Dubrovnik. Special attention is paid to the work of cardinal Bessarion on the unification of Christians and defence from the Turks, and to reception of his ideas in the works of Croatian humanists, primarily Ivan Stojković (John of Ragusa), Juraj Dragišić (Georgius Benignus de Salviatis) and Ivan Vitez of Sredna (John Vitez of Sredna).
