Abstract
This article explores the biography of an Illyrian and nobleman Nikola Zdenčaj (1775–1854), emphasizing his political and cultural activities. Nikola Zdenčaj was rarely at the centre of scientific and/or professional research, so this article will explore and confirm his political path within the Illyrian movement (Croatian National Revival), while also clarifying some ambiguities and insufficiently established facts. Therefore, this article aims to shed light on the role of Nikola Zdenčaj during the Croatian National Revival, as well as on the Illyrian’s position in today’s historiography.
