Vjekoslav Klaić as a geographer

Dragutin Feletar

Abstract

This paper describes the contribution of a great Croatian historiographer, Vjekoslav Klaić, PhD, to the development of the Croatian geography. That contribution was especially significant because it took place just in the time of establishment of modern Croatian geography, and in the time of foundation of the Geography Chair at the University of Zagreb in 1883. Three most impostant geographical works of Vjekoslav Klaić are analyzed here: „Prirodni zemljopis Hrvatske“ (Natural Geography of Croatia), „Opis zemalja u kojih obitavaju Hrvati“ (Description of the Countries where the Croats live) and „Zemljopis Bosne“ (Geography of Bosnia).
