Abstract

Krešimir Filić (1892 – 1971), historian and museum curator, was a long-serving teacher at Varaždin Gymnasium, a head of numerous cultural institutions and the initiator of numerous social and cultural events in Varaždin. Amongst his other publications that dealt with the history of Varaždin was his book ‘Lik Vatroslava Jagića’ (A Portrait of Vatroslav Jagić) published in Varaždin in 1963). The book was published to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Jagić’s birth and the 40th anniversary of his death. Filić wanted to inform the general public of Varaždin about this great Slavicist and to express the pride he felt for being born in this city. The biography concentrates less on Jagić’s scientific achievements and more on his family life and social relationships. The biography aims to describe with a great deal of precision Jagić the man, and will be of help to specialists dealing with Jagić as well as those looking for basic information.
