Five Letters of Ivan Kostrenčić to Sir Franjo Marković
Ivica Zvonar
Abstract
In the article are published a transcription and a brief commentary on five letters addressed by Ivan Kostrenčić on several occasions from Vienna in 1872 and 1873 to Sir Franjo Marković. They both left an immense trace in the Croatian scholarly and cultural life of the last quarter of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. Their correspondence gives some insight into some details of their private lives of that period, as well as something on their interests and intellectual and social activities. These letters are particularly interesting because they testify to certain connections and a relatively lively communication between members of the Croatian community in Vienna, as well as a certain level of their connection to their homeland.
