Sažetak
Vladimir Mažuranić, legal historian and writer, was full member and president of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts (today the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts). Vladimir Mažuranić was a descendant of a distinguished Vinodol family, which played a significant part in the Croatian legal, political and cultural history. He was a polyvalent personality: apart from having had detailed knowledge of the administration and thorough comprehension of law, he was a writer and a poet, and wrote dramatic texts and biographical studies; above all, however, he was a distinguished scientist. In the period 1908–1922, the Yugoslav Academy published his capital scientific work – Prinosi za hrvatski pravno-povjestni rječnik (The Croatian Dictionary of History and Law) in ten volumes, and in 1923, the author’s Dodaci (Appendices) on a total of 1,756 pages followed. It is a rather surprising fact that up to the present, in our science, no comprehensive evaluation of this work’s level of importance has been made. Mažuranić was elected President of the Yugoslav Academy in May 1918. His three-year presidential mandate at the Academy was additionally complicated by the economic, political and social circumstances following World War One.
