He was the first humanist from Šibenik and the central personality of the Šibenik's humanist circle and also one of the most important figures in 15th century cultural life and history of Croatian people.

His Elegiarum et carminum libri tres ("Book of elegies and poems", Venice, 1477) was a first published book by a Croatian poet. American historian John Van Antwerp Fine, Jr. emphasizes that Šižgorić and Vinko Pribojević did not consider themselves to be Croats, but rather Slavic language-speaking Venetians.

Juraj Šižgorić središnja je ličnost šibenskog humanističkog kruga i jedna od najznačajnijih ličnosti kulturnog života u XV. stoljeću hrvatskog naroda. Rođen je u Šibeniku o. 1445., a studirao je u Padovi gdje je doktorirao crkveno pravo 1471. godine. Bio je svećenik s mnogim dužnostima, među ostalim i biskupskog vikara dvaput. Postoje spekulacije o moćnim neprijateljima zbog gubitka očinskog imanja, no malo se detalja zna o njegovom životu u gradu. Šižgorić je tijesno bio vezan uz svoj zavičaj te je svojemu latiniziranomu imenu često dodavao i sintagmu Sibenicensis Dalmata, a u djelima mu se očituje i domoljublje te protuturska tematika.

Juraj Šižgorić was a clergyman, lawyer and humanist poet. His family had migrated from inland Croatia to the Dalmatian city of Šibenik less than a century before his birth, and a Šižgorić held the captaincy of the city when it was fijinally annexed by Venice in 1412. The poet’s paternal uncle, also called Juraj, was bishop of Šibenik 1437-54. Šižgorić studied in Padua from about 1465 to 1470, obtaining his doctorate in canon law in February 1471. He spent the rest of his life in his home town as a canon of Šibenik cathedral.
