Lukrecija Bogašinović Budmani Explained

Lukrecija Bogašinović Budmani (26 October 1710  - 8 June 1784) was a Ragusan poet.

The granddaughter of Petar Toma Bogašinović, she was born in Dubrovnik, Republic of Ragusa. Her father was a government clerk who was unjustly accused of corruption and banished from Dubrovnik. At the age of 42, she married Simone Budmani; he died ten years later. She died in Dubrovnik at the age of 73.^[1]

Although she probably produced more work, being one of the most popular poets of her time, only four works survive as manuscripts:

• Posluh Abrama patrijarke (The obedience of patriarch Abraham) (1763)
• Život Tobije (The life of Tobith) (1763)
• Razgovor pastirski vrhu porođenja Gospodinova (The shepherd's conversation on the Lord's nativity) (1764)
• Život Jozefa patrijarke (The life of patriarch Joseph) (1770)^[1]
