He is considered to be one of the finest Renaissance playwrights and prose writers of Croatian literature.

Marin's uncle was another famous author Džore Držić. Ordained in 1526, Držić was sent in 1538 to Siena in Tuscany to study the Church Canon Law, where his academic results were average.

Losing interest in his studies, Marin returned to the Dubrovnik Republic in 1543. Here he became an acquaintance of Austrian adventurer Christoph Rogendorf, then at odds with ...
