Katalinić Ivan: Memorie degli avvenimenti successi in Dalmazia

Ivan Katalinić: Memorie Degli Avvenimenti Successi in Dalmazia Dopo La Caduta Della Repubblica Veneta Con Un Saggio Sull'amministrazione Pubblica Veneta E Del Regno D'italia di Gio. Cattalinich ...Spalato 1841. Type. Bernard. Piperata

As an educated officer and intellectual, Katalinić first wrote the first modern history of Dalmatia from the earliest times to the fall of the Venetian Republic (Storia della Dalmazia, 1834 – 1835), which he based mainly on the works of I. Lučić, D. Farlati and I. Kreljanović Albinoni. Written in a pre-revival spirit, his History of Dalmatia caused positive echoes in Illyrian circles. Records about past events in Dalmatia are a continuation of History of Dalmatia, and they were written on the basis of the author's experiences and contemporary material, and are much more reliable and valuable in the historiographical sense. Katalinić's focus is on the turbulent political events in Dalmatia during the Napoleonic Wars from 1797, in which he himself participated. With an interesting narration, supported by details, he meticulously follows the revolutionary and sometimes bloody turmoil in the Dalmatian cities and hinterland at the time of the collapse of the Venetian government and the arrival of the French army. In commenting on political events, Katalinić uses the genetic method of connection and causal interpretation. This makes Zapisi indispensable literature for all topics about the history of Dalmatia at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.

The work is of first-class significance for that very turbulent period in Dalmatia that followed the fall of the Venetian Republic
Very rare!
