Summary/Abstract: A little known but valuable poet Jure Radojević Gizdelin in his two works Okolišenje i uzetje grada Budina and Skazanje vazetja lipoga Biograda forwards its “verseti” to Gospa od Olova. His entire literary work extends to his cry for Bosnia and its sanctuary of Gospa od Olova. These two components held Gizdelin as a poet and as a “knight” who feels called and required to manage his poetic word to answer to the challenge of time in which he lived. In this paper the author will retain the special verses dedicated to Gospa od Olova, compare legends about the origin of the Marian shrine, and also include Radojević´s modest literary artwork in the framework of literature in Croatian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian literatures.
