Lujo Margetić ; Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

In the paper, the author points out the everlasting importance of the vast opus of Franjo Rački for the Croatian historiography on the whole and the arguments in favour of him being an unequalled personality in our cultural history. He concentrates on only several examples of how Rački had contributed to the Croatian history analyses: the role of Duke Mutimir in the events concerning the Pannonic Croatia in 873; the dating of the death of Petar, the last Croatian king; the identification of attackers on Rab according to the first miracle of St. Christopher’s; and the dating of the visit of the Venetian Doge Domenico Contarini.
