Tomaš Mikloušić

As one of the forerunners of the Illyrian movement, he produced a large and varied body of work during his lifetime.

He also served as professor of grammar and poetics at the Classical Gymnasium in Zagreb (1805–1832) and ran various periodicals.

In 1791, he wrote Imenoslavnik, a mythological-allegorical play, performed at the theatre of the Zagreb seminary that same year, which remains in manuscript.

[4] However, his most important work is called Izbor dugovanj vsakoverstneh za hasen i razveselenje služečeh (1822), a kind of poetic encyclopedia divided in four parts.

Towards the end of his life, he was assigned to translate the Bible into Croatian by the Bishop of Zagreb, Maksimilijan Vrhovac.
