Abstract
The National and University library holds the twenty eight years long correspondence between Nikola Andrić and his professor and mentor Vatroslav Jagić that occurred in the period 1890-1918. Although this hitherto unknown corpus is composed of merely hundred letters and correspondence cards, it reveals many important details concerning our cultural, literary and language history. The letters unveil many relevant facts from everyday, cultural and family lives of these two renowned authors. They also describe numerous social and political occurrences that took place in the disunited countries under Austria-Hungary reign at that time, with particular emphasis on four years long warfare when many people faced suff ering and starvation (even Jagić himself). Due to its documentary value, this correspondence will be particularly invaluable to historians of Croatian literature and cultural history.
