A Croatian poet; born at Brist, Dalmatia, 1690; died at Zaostrog, 1760. He performed for his country a service similar to that of Percy in his "Reliques" to England, or of Allan Ramsay in his "Evergreen" or "Tea-Table Miscellany" to Scotland, in publishing "Recreations of the Slavonic People" (1756). This was an anthology of popular songs which he collected or adapted, celebrating the exploits of South-Slavic heroes from the earliest times. Many editions have appeared, and it is popular to-day with the Southern Slavs.
