There is an interesting conference next week in Venice, on historiographies of the Renaissance in Central and Eastern Europe. I'll be talking about Croatian historiography of Renaissance philosophers that come from the eastern shores of the Adriatic.

Last week I received printed copies of the volume I co-edited with my colleague Martino for Bloomsbury. It's the first book on Renaissance Aristotelianism on the eastern shores of the Adriatic. I have a chapter on the cosmology of Antonius Medus (1547?-1603), an amateur-philosopher from Dubrovnik.

We went fishing yesterday evening. Apart from three squids, I caught this conjunction of the Moon, Venus and (I think) Musk’s Starlink satellites.

Just came across this file of the German SS archive, noting that in 1942, in the region of Bilogora (Central Croatia), a large number of Jews fought under the command of “dr. Gregorić from Zagreb”. My late grandfather.

Today is Spinoza’s 392th birthday. Here’s an apposite quote from his anonymously published Tractatus Theologico-Politicus from 1670: “Peace is not the absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition of benevolence, confidence, justice.”

Pondering over Aristotle’s De anima II.4, the discussion of nutrition, with some assistance from Albertus Magnus. A lot of food for thought there, but no chicken and shrimps.

I don't know how this works, or if anyone cares, but here's the second proof of the cover of our forthcoming book from Brill. The author was a Renaissance scholar and politician from Dubrovnik. He held highest offices in Ragusan Republic and wrote Platonic dialogues and commentaries on Aristotle.

When we moved into our old flat, back in 2004, my beloved grandparents brought us a hibiscus plant. Grandpa passed away in 2009, Grandma in 2017, but their plant grows on and blossoms twice a year.
