De situ Illyriae et civitate Sibenici by Juraj Šižgorić (1487)

TrueMacedonian · 12-14-2010, 06:08 PM

Juraj Šižgorić, or Georgius Sisgoreus, was a poet and historiographer from Sibenik, Croatia. In 1487 the book De situ Illyriae et civitate Sibenici (On the location of Illyria and the city of Sibenik), a historico- geographical treatise, written by Šižgorić constructed the borders of Illyria in which he starts with Hungary and ends with Macedonia. He also included the first ever catalogue of thirty 'Illyrian' tribes using ethnonyms from classical authors.

The little info we have of this book pertaining to Macedonia is from here - http://www.heraldika.org.mk/eng/oldest.htm - which is only what I have confirmed only using a different source (which does not include "Greece" as the article in heraldika does).

Can anyone please help provide more info? Even images of the front cover?

I found this, http://ffzg.hr/klafil/croala/cgi-bin...ate.pl?laud.22 from the Faculti of Phiposophy in Zagreb. It should be digitalized version of the book, but i'm not sure if it's finished completelly. Also is not translated it's in latin

. On this link http://ffzg.hr/klafil/croala/cgi-bin...?dbname=croala you can find other croatian authors starting from 1200 till present day, which i also think are only partly digitalized.

Probably a contact should be made with the Hrvati to promote all these cultural heritage to more people other than scolars.

This dates the claim to an Illyrian heritage for Slavic-speaking peoples even earlier than Pribojevic.
