Abstract

Today, school textbooks in Croatia state that Josip Runjanin is one of the important Illyrian composers who set the Croatian anthem to music. However, this information, as well as information about his compositional contribution, is full of various controversies that are rarely mentioned by the general public. This paper explores these controversies with particular reference to issues of academic integrity and politics that led to the construction of the character and work of Josip Runjanin present in public today and their repercussions in the future.
