Abstract
Romology represents a scientific discipline which studies the history and the culture of the Roma people. With the first romological research studies published in the 16th century in Western Europe, the Croatian academics produced their first romological research papers in the second half of the 18th century. The linguistic research efforts of Filip Vezdin may thus be considered in such context: as he tried to prove the Indian origin of Roma, his contemporary Ivan Škrlec Lomnički analysed the situation of Roma in Hungary from the economic perspective. In the first half of the 19th century, Antun Mihanović pursued a linguistic analysis of the Romani language, while Spiridon Jović analysed the position of Roma on the territory of the Military Frontier in Croatia. In the second half of the 19th century, Mijat Stojanović published several ethnographic research papers, while the most prominent romologist of this period, Mara Čop Marlet, published her ethnographic research alongside dramaturgical and literary works of Roma. Moreover, Mara Čop Marlet inspired further interest for Roma by engaging researchers such as Franjo Kuhač and Emilij Laszowski who published the first Croatian historiographical study on Roma. Friedrich S. Krauss significantly contributed to the ethnographic research of Roma while Ivan Broz and Ljudevit Drašković analysed the Romani language. Ferdo Hefele studied Koritari as a special group of Roma of the Romanian origin. In addition, the Committee onFolklife and Customs of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts promoted consistent ethnographic research in Croatia. Finally, the First World War marked the end of the first period of romological research in Croatia with the research efforts of Milan Mizler and Franjo Fancev.
