TWO LETTERS OF FRANO SUPILO ADDRESSED TO TADIJA SMIČIKLAS AND IVAN KRSTITELJ TKALČIĆ FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE CROATIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS
Ivo Perić
Abstract
In the letter addressed in 1893 to Tadija Smičiklas Frano Supilo asked for his influential support to Osman Hadžić, a Muslim from Herzegovina who declared himself as Croat. Hadžić finished the Sharia school in Sarajevo and wanted to continue his education by studying law at the University of Zagreb. Hadžić’s wish was granted. Hadžić, a Mostar native, later worked as a barrister in judiciary and administration, as well as a long time teacher of Sharia schools in Mostar, Sarajevo and Banja Luka. He was also a distinguished publisher and writer. In the second letter, addressed to Ivan Krstitelj Tkalčić (written in 1898), Supilo asked for his collaboration on ‘Sveti Vlaho’ calendar, which he meant to publish in Dubrovnik starting from 1899. The publication of the calendar never materialised, probably due to insufficient number of collaborators and subscribers.
