Abstract
Klović's year of birth has never been found directly registered anywhere, and the opinions of scholars have differed as to the exact date of his death. The author discusses the historical course followed in resolving this issue, citing the opinions of Borghini, Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski, A. Bertolotti, John Bradley, F. Bonnard and others. After this he describes his meticulous search for official documents referring to the exact day and place that Klović died, i. e. a search through mortuary registers. Thanks to his great persistance he managed to discover that the information about Klović's death is in the mortuary register of the parish of San Lorenzo in Damaso in Rome, according to which he was able to ascertain beyond a shadow of a doubt that the artist died on 3 January 1578.
