VATROSLAV JAGlC AND THE LITERATURE OF THE »MIDDLE PERIOD«
Josip Vončina
Sažetak
Vatroslav Jagić's enormous scientific output is impressive not only in terms of its sheer volume, but also, preeminently, in terms of the versatility and scope of its Slavic topics. It should be noted that Jagić entered into each of these subject areas sovereignly, due to the thoroughness of his linguistic training acquired during his Vienna years as a student of the Slovene F. Miklošič. But this only cannot account for his outstanding achievements. On one occasion, Veber
rightly pointed out that he himself was also a Vienna student. But Jagić was endowed with a marvellous, rarely found, gift: the ability to penetrate every single subject of his study with exceptional meticulousness, with a talent to focus on detail and to build upon it new views of entire epochs. Harmoniously blending in his personality the characteristics ol his Zagreb grammar-school school tea
chers (the gentleness and human breadth of Vjekoslav Babukić with the rigoro us exactitude of Antun Mažuranić), Jagić found himself, in the best sense of the word, at the hall-way point: a kajkavian speaker from Varaždin had united the fruitfulness of Babukić's štokavian »Vallis aureac« with the fertility of Mažuranić's čakavian »Vinodol's karst valley«. And from this »corner of the earth« one could not but reach the top.
