REVIEW OF THE CATHOLIC AND CROATIAN PERIODICALS IN BIH FROM 1878 TO 1918 WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE JOURNAL CALLED BALKAN

Tomo Vukšić ; Catholic Faculty of Theology, Sarajevo

Abstract

The paper firstly gives the review of all periodical publications in the Croatian
language which appeared in the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina in
the period from 1878 to 1918. According to some people there are 23 periodicals,
but some other mention that there are 29 of them. The author
of this article mentions 32 titles, or 43 papers initiated in the mentioned
period. The first number is valid if we apply the methodology according to
which only one periodical publication is counted regardless of how many
times it changed its name and was published under another name. The
second number is obtained if we apply the rule that every emergence of a
new name of the periodical is in fact the end of one and beginning of the
new publication.
Not so known theological journal Balkan was presented in the second part
of the paper. It was activated by Archbishop Josip Stadler from Sarajevo
and was being published twice a year from 1986 to 1902. The main preoccupation
of this journal was the reestablishment of unity among Christians,
especially between Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church. But, Stadler’s
ecumenical appeals were not productive for the Eastern Orthodox metropolitans
and priests of that period.
