Vitezović's aphorisms suggest a double reception to the modern reader in a certain, sensitive way.
They should be read in the time when they were written and now, so to speak, timeless, when the so-called reality surpassed and rhymed with many "harsh words" with its original satire.
"A collection of anecdotes and maxims is the greatest treasure for a worldly man, if he knows how to insert the former in a suitable place in a conversation and if the latter come to his mind at the right time"
Globus, 1984.
