Abstract

A Pauline monk Ladislaus Simandi (Simándy) (1655-1715), who was Croat by origin, wrote the first significant piece of art of Croatian visual poetry “Corvi albi eremitici nova musa inconcinna”, devoted to the life of Thebaic Saint Paul. The book is a sort of school textbook, where we can find the simplest anagramma and acrostic, a bit more complicated cubus, hologramma and mezostic, as well as the most complicated circle, wheel, clock, star, wreath and rebus. Two visual pieces of art of Simandi (a Latin-Croatian and a Croatian-Latin) and a foreword to one of it prove that the author considered himself a Croat.
