The Fate of Dr. Ivo Pilar's Scholarly Library

Sažetak
In his last will and testament Dr. Ivo Pilar (1874-1933) decided to donate
his scholarly library to the (then Yugoslav) Croatian Academy of Sciences
and Arts in Zagreb. During 1934, his home library with 415 titles arrived at
the Academy. There is every indication that none of the following — the
then librarian Dr. Stjepan Ivšić, his assistant Antun Šimčik or Pilar's family
— listed the donated books. What is more — due to a series of difficulties
(material, technical and personal) in the library — Pilar's book donation
was not properly analysed. In the JAZU Yearbook 1934-35, the book
donation report explicitly mentions only 123 titles that Dr. Pilar donated to
the Academy. Having gained an insight into archive documents that are
preserved in the Archive of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts,
having surveyed the books that belonged to Dr. Ivo Pilar, and having
analysed the accessible material, I concluded that — according to the
acquired knowledge — it was not possible to precisely establish what
Pilar's private library comprised as documents regarding it were
nonexistent.
