Presentation of Dissertationes et Monographiae 15, October 1st 2020

M. Jurković, I. Josipović (eds.), Aspice Hunc Opus Mirum. Festschrift on the occasion of Nikola Jakšić’s 70th birthday, Dissertationes et monographiae 15, Zagreb-Motovun-Zadar 2020, 640 pp.

The book, carried out within the activities of the GLOHUM project, was presented during the project’s activities on the island of Rab (Croatia) on October 1st 2020. It “consists of more than 40 contributions dealing with problems in disciplines of history, art history and archaeology of mostly Late Antique and Medieval periods, all of them intended as a memento for professor emeritus Nikola Jakšić in honour of his 70th birthday. All of the contributions in this book are original scientific papers and all of them are dealing with problems not yet resolved in disciplines of history, art history and archaeology of mostly Late Antique and Medieval periods, but later ones as well. All of the papers also deal with problems that are connected to the territory of today’s Croatia or its neighboring regions in the European context, which is why they are especially relevant for the Croatian national scientific community and its development. Therefore, the scientific impact of this book will be huge bearing in mind that all the authors did it for celebrating professor Jakšić’s character and deeds.” (G. Ripoll)
