Pavle Solarić

Pavle Solarić (7 August 1779 – 18 January 1821) was a Serbian linguist, geographer, archaeologist, poet, bibliographer and man of letters.

In Preface, Solarić states that his work is supplemented translation of Adam Christian Gaspari Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden.

Since then, however, his work is currently being appreciated, thanks to Zdravko Krstanović and Milorad Pavić who brought the poems from old archives to the attention of the reading public under the title of Gozba.

Solarić translated Ulog uma čelovječeskoga (Vienna, 1810) from the German by philosopher Karl von Eckartshausen's Aufschlüsse zur Magie aus geprüften Erfahrungen über verborgene philosophische Wissenschaften und verdeckte Geheimnisse der Natur(4 vols., Munich.

Just recently a Serbian historian Radovan Damjanović discovered that Pavle Solarić's "Romans of Slavonia" was written as a result of socializing with Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guilford, a former first British Governor of Ceylon, then Minister of Education of the Ionian Islands.
