KRIŠKOVIĆ DOCET

Abstract
The author's wish here was to throw some more light upon the life, person and work of
Croatian scientist Vinko Krišković from Senj. That distinguished professor of law, member
the Croatian parliament and vice-ban, exerted an important influence in the political life of his homeland during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy until its end in 1918, by defending the Croatian interests against the trespassing of Vienna and Pest and by pleading for the equality of the nations within that monarchy. Likewise, he was against the south-slavic state looking it as an unnatural and harmful solution because Croats and Serbs belong to the two different religions and cultures. As a democrat and convinced supporter of the West, he did not agree either with the Indipendent State of Croatia, for which he spent the last few years of his life in the in Switzerland. In the sphere of science he was particularly known for his papers on the family cooperations and in literature as a translator of Shakespeare's works. The author in this article presents also some valuable documents which throw light to problems in connection with Vinko Krišković and approximate his figure as a man, intellectual and Croatian evidencing also the time in which Krišković lived.
