Sažetak
The author offers an evaluation of the published works by the historiographer Franjo Rački, dealing with the history of Croatia in the Middle Ages, in the context of political and other circumstances of the era in which they were written. This was the second half of the 19th century, marked by conflicts of the Hungarians and the Unionists with Croatia then. In his works, Rački speaks of the Slavic apostles, of the movement in the Slavic south and the fight for national independence, of the evaluation of the sources to the Croatian and Serbian history, of the Bogomiles and the Patarenes, of the Croatian royal chancery documents, of suspicious sources up to the 12th century, etc. The author regards Nutarnje stanje Hrvatske prije XII. Vieka (The Internal State of Croatia Before the 12th Century) not only as Rački’s best work, but also as one of the peaks of the Croatian 19th-century research of the mediaeval period. In all his works on the Croatian mediaeval period, Rački proves historiographer’s excellence and extraordinary education in theology.
