Abstract
The analysis of Šime Ljubić’s (1822-1896), Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski’s (1816-1889), Ivan Zoch’s (1843-1921) and Josip Mencin’s (1856-1900) relevant sources, as well as of Franjo Kuhač‘s (1834-1911) published and unpublished works in the field of Croatian music history, displays that their knowledge about the Renaissance music in Dubrovnik and Dalmatia was mainly poor, imprecise, and sometimes inaccurate. Though these musichistoriographical sources are without a significant practical value at the present moment, they were at the time both the first to give any information on certain musicians of the Renaissance period in Dubrovnik and Dalmatia and to initiate further research, which led to many new insights and/or corrections presented in the article. Being a part of the corpus of works on Croatian music history today, these sources represent a historical testimony to the state of the beginnings of music historiography in Croatia, including knowledge of the Dalmatian music Renaissance.
