Abstract
The beginnings of historical studies in Zagreb were marked by the strong influence of Austrian historiography and teaching methodology. This influence is particularly evident when examining the professors at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Faculty of Philosophy), many of whom spent part or all of their student years in the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Considering all students who at some point attended the University of Vienna and completed their studies before the end of World War I, it is clear that a total of thirteen professors at the Department of History in Zagreb had this study experience. Among them were Tadija Smičiklas, Vjekoslav Klaić, Ferdo Šišić, Josip Matasović, and others. This paper explores this aspect of their academic education and provides a collective analysis of the process of studying history at the University of Vienna during that time. Special emphasis is placed on lectures and seminar exercises, as well as on the professors who conducted the instruction. Additionally, the research touches upon extracurricular study activities and the influence of student societies, to which some of these thirteen historians belonged. The primary aim is to explain how education in the capital of the Empire influenced their scientific interests and their teaching activities at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb.
