Sažetak
Grga Novak, the prominent historian of the Island of Hvar, introduced a claim in Hvar historiography that duke Petar Semitecolo built the Historic theatre of Hvar on the first floor of the arsenal. The analysis of the key Novak’s paper from 1961 for this topic revealed that that claim is a mere thesis based on different writings from the beginning of the 17th century (letters of the Providors General in Dalmatia, the documents in the Episcopal archive, the travelogue by William Lithgow) and it outlines the hardships of that time in Hvar town. That imposes the question of probability of building a theatre in such circumstances.
