Literature
Beside this well-known miscellany, he also compiled Ranjinin Lekcionar (started in 1508) (a collection of passages from the Bible), and the Dubrovnik chronicle Annali di Ragusa (1522). Whether some of the verses in the Miscellany were authored by Ranjina is not known, although it is possible.
