Tragom Jöcherove natuknice o Petriću

Utjecajni "Allgemeines Gelehrten-Lexicon" (1750-1751) Christiana Gottlieba Jöchera u svojem trećem svesku sadržava natuknicu o filozofu Frani Petriću. Izuzevši dvojbe o mjestu rođenja, Jöcherovi su podaci točni, ali oskudni. Da bi se ustanovilo kojim je podacima raspolagao ili mogao raspolagati njemački leksikograf, proučeni su Jöcherovi izvori. Od njih devet, koje je Jöcher popisao na kraju svoje natuknice o Petriću, njemački se leksikograf poslužio samo djelom "Les Eloges des hommes savans" (1683) Antoinea Teissiera i drugim izdanjem rječnika "Dictionaire historique et critique" (1702) Pierra Baylea. Najstariji i najmlađi među Jöcherovim izvorima, "Elogia illustrium Belgii scriptorum" Auberta Le Mirea i "Mémoires" Jean-Pierrea Nicerona, nemaju ni retka o Petriću. Ostalih pet Jöcherovih izvora sadržavaju vrijedne podatke o Petriću, ali se Jöcher njima nije poslužio.

The third volume of the authoritative "Allgemeines Gelehrten-Lexicon" (1750-1751), compiled by Christian Gottlieb Jöcher, contains an entry on the philosopher Frane Petrić. Apart from Petrić’s obscure place of birth, Jöcher’s data, if scarce, are correct. In order to establish the information that had been or may have available to the German lexicographer, Jöcher’s sources have been traced. Out of the nine sources Jöcher listed at the end of his entry on Petrić, the German lexicographer consulted only the work "Les Eloges des hommes savans" (1683) by Antoine Teissier and the second edition of the "Dictionaire historique et critique" (1702) by Pierre Bayle. The oldest and most recent among Jöcher’s sources, "Elogia illustrium Belgii scriptorum" by Aubert Le Mire and "Mémoires" by Jean-Pierre Niceron, make no reference to Petrić. Although the remaining five sources contain valuable information on Petrić, Jöcher failed to consult them.
