Sažetak
An exceptional place among Croatian historians was ensured to Tadija Smičiklas by his work in collecting and editing historical sources, in the first place Codex diplomaticus regni Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae, although his other scientific achievements cannot be neglected. In this article there is briefly described the level of development of the historical science known in Croatian as “egdotika”—the principles, rules, and guidelines for publishing sources—in the period preceding the foundation of the Academy and beginnings of systematic publication of sources, and the organisation of the Academy’s activity in that direction. The fact that these efforts were an integral part of contemporary trends in the European scientific world is emphasised. Smičiklas’s activity in publishing narrative sources (Krčelić’s Annuae, the final redaction of the critical edition of Historia Salonitanorum pontificorum of Archdeacon Thomas of Split) and collections of charters (his work on Acta dietalia and particularly on Codex diplomaticus) are reviewed in detail. The authors also point to Smičiklas’s contribution to establishing rules of “egdotika” in Croatia based on the “interpretative method,” and to the education of younger scholars (M. Šufflay, E. Laszowski, M. Kostrenčić) and their training for work in the editing of historical sources.
