Abstract
The Croatian climate in the 19th century in the church as well as economic and more than anything else in political, scientifi c, cultural and artistic ways was marked by two powerful personalities, Dr. Josip Juraj Strossmayer and Dr. Franjo Rački. The literature of the results of the friendship and other collaborations between the Croatian great fi gure, canon, scientist and politician Rački and the bishop, politician and patron Strossmayer is copious. Their relationship was revealed mainly through the correspondence which was partially published by the academic and university professor F. Šišić from 1928 to 1934. These are major sources of Croatian history as well as the rest of Europe with appraisals by numerous famous personalities and lesser known people. Amongst them, very openly, there is friendly and subjectively information about Senj’s Bishop Vjenceslav Šoić and Ivan Črnčić the director of St. Jerome’s Institute in Rome, canon, historiographer and Slavist. With surprise and satisfaction we discovered that both of the great fi gures, the one in Zagreb and the one in Đakovo were also ‘ordinary’ people.
