Summary
Vlaho Kojaković: Dubrovnik in private life
KOJAKOVIĆ, Vlaho, historian (Čibača, Župa Dubrovačka, 7 October 1900 — Dubrovnik, 29 January 1981). He finished high school in 1924 in Dubrovnik, studied history and geography in 1928 at the Faculty of Arts in Zagreb, where he received his doctorate that year with the thesis Dubrovnik in the last decades before the great earthquake of April 6, 1667 From the beginning. In the 1930s, he worked in Dubrovnik secondary schools (from 1935 in the Maritime and Commercial Academy and in the City Commercial Academy, from 1945 in the gymnasium and in the Technical College of Economics, and from 1946 in the Teachers' School). He contributed occasional articles and articles about the economy of the wider Dubrovnik area and those from the cultural and social history of the Republic of Dubrovnik in the periodicals Luč (1925–26), Yugoslavianski list (1929), Narodna svště (1930), Sloga (1930), Dubrava (1941) and Dubrovnik (1978). He was among the first in our country to deal with the history of everyday life; in the booklet Dubrovnik in private life (Dubrovnik 1933), written partly on the basis of unpublished archival material, he sketched the everyday life of Dubrovnik in the Middle and Early Modern Ages. He also wrote a brochure with an account of the investigation from 1779 on the occasion of a petition for the annulment of a marriage (Romantic love of a Cavtaj woman from the 18th century Dubrovnik 1933) and a brief general overview of the political history of the Balkan Peninsula 1371–89 (Fight of the Yugoslavs for their survival before the Kosovo battle. Dubrovnik 1934), and his work was published posthumously with selected contributions from history Župe Dubrovnikačka (Zbornik Župe Dubrovnikačka, 1996).
