Aus dem Italiänischen übersezt. Nebst dem Bildniß von Sotschiwizka.

Very rare German edition of the life of the hajduk Stanislav Sočivica.

The first known copy in Croatia!

Sočivica, Stanko (Stanislav), anti-Ottoman warrior (near Trebinje, first half of the 18th century - ?, second half of the 18th century). He was a subject of the Ottoman nobles Umetalčić, whom he killed together with his brothers due to tyranny. He then moved to the territory of Venice, to the area of ​​Imotski, where he was mainly engaged in trade and piracy. Before Ottoman revenge, he took refuge in Croatian territory (Karlovac) around 1754, but was captured by the Ottomans near Udbina in 1757. In order to avoid the death penalty, he converted to Islam and took the name Ibrahim, but the very next year he fled to Dalmatia, took his old name and returned to Orthodoxy. He then led a series of raids on Ottoman territory (as far as Sarajevo and Mostar), asking the Bosnian Pasha to release his family from captivity in Travnik. Having succeeded in his intention around 1762, he stayed for some time in the territory of Venetian Dalmatia, and occasionally in the Croatian territory north of Zrmanja. After 1770, he retired to Lika and settled in Gračac. He managed to obtain a permanent salary and property from the Austrian authorities and was named a Harambaš.

Lovrić, Ivan, Croatian writer (Sinj, around 1754 – Sinj, 14. XI. 1777). He studied languages ​​and philosophy in Venice, and medicine in Padua. Year In 1776 he published Notes on the Journey through Dalmatia by Abbot Alberto Fortis and the Life of Stanislav Sočivicza (Osservazioni di Giovanni Lovrich sopra diversi pezzi del Viaggio in Dalmazia del signor abate Alberto Fortis coll'aggiunta della vita di Soçivicza), a review of A. Fortis' Journey through Dalmatia (1774). The first two parts of the book, On the course of the Cetina and On the customs of Morlak, are full of objections to Fortis's writing, and contain historical and archaeological data and ethnographic material from the area of ​​Sinjska Krajina, as well as wider central Dalmatia. Lovrić covered folkloristic, ethnological and socio-anthropological topics and described numerous interesting facts about the weather, climate and meteorology of the continental part of Dalmatia. In the third part, he described the life of the hajduk Stanko Sočivica. Along with patriotism, the work also expresses enlightenment aspirations. The book provoked criticism from many contemporaries, including Fortis himself.

Carl Gerd v. Ketelhodt, also known as Carl Gerhard and Carl Gerth (1738 - around 1794) was a privy councilor and chancellor of princes Schwarzburg. Carl Gerd comes from the old Ketelhodt family. He was the son of Chancellor Christian Ulrich von Ketelhodt and his wife Marie Katharine née von Beulwitz (1703-1769). At the age of 14, he began studying law in Jena with Christian Gottlieb Buder, Johann August von Hellfeld and Karl Friedrich Walch. In January 1758, he received his doctorate and returned to his hometown. There he entered the civil service and was appointed a true privy councilor and chancellor in 1785.
