"Marko Marulić Splićanin (Croatian pronunciation: [mâːrko mǎrulitɕ]),[a] in Latin Marcus Marulus Spalatensis[b] (18 August 1450 – 5 January 1524), was a Croatian poet, lawyer, judge, and Renaissance humanist who coined the term "psychology". According to George J. Gutsche, Marulic's epic poem Judita, "is the first long poem in Croatian", and, "gives Marulić a position in his own literature comparable to Dante in Italian literature."
He has been called the "crown of the Croatian medieval age" and the "father of the Croatian Renaissance". Marulić's Latin poetry is also of such high quality that his contemporaries called him, "The Christian Virgil."" - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
