SLOVENIAN PROFESSORS AT THE VARAŽDIN GRAMMAR SCHOOL WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE PERIOD OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN MONARCHY

Summary/Abstract: Slovene-Croatian ties in the history of education remain an unresearched topic in Slovene-Croatian history and history in general. The history of Slovenianhood in the Croatian territory has recently begun to be researched, but the topic related to education seems to have been of little importance and interest to Croatian and Slovenian researchers. In fact, professors have, in this scientific segment, have been neglected by the researchers. For this reason, this article provides an overview of the activities of Slovene professors who worked at the grammar school in Varaždin . The grammar school in Varaždin, just like some others grammar schools in Croatia, played a significant role in Croatian history, and, in addition to professors born in Slovenian regions, a large number of pupils from Slovenian regions were also recorded. This paper will not present the activities of all Slovenian professors present at the grammar school in Varaždin, because it was not possible to find even the basic information about some of them. However, the work and activities of 16 professors, who worked at the grammar school during the period of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, will be presented. The basic information were taken from Emilian Lilek’s book as well as older literature (Anton Cuvaj) and secondary sources. The paper devotes special attention to the professors’ co-shaping of Croatian education through history. Professors mentioned in the paper are: Franjo Bradaška, Valentin Cajnko, Jernej (Bartol) Francelj, Josip Križan, Valentin Mandelc, Anton Rajšp, Franjo Selak, Josip Stare, Janez (Ivan) Trdina, Hinko Scheidela, Martin Senekovič, Matija Valjavec, Peter Valjavec, Martin Valenčak, Mihael Wurner, Luka Zima, and Sebastijan Žepič.
