Using little-known Italian, Austrian, and Dalmatian sources, Monzali explores the political history of Dalmatia between 1848 and 1915, with a focus on the Italian minority, on Austrian-Italian ...relations and on the foreign policy of the Italian state towards the region and its peoples.
This book presents interdisciplinary research carried out on the Roman sites of pottery workshops active within the coastal area of the province of Dalmatia as well as on material recovered during ...the excavations.
In the extensive work of the Dubrovnik-born Benedictine Lodovico Tuberon de Crieva, „Commentaria de temporibus suis” describing the events in the Mediterranean in the years 1490–1522, there is a ...small passage about the events on the island of Hvar (ital. Lesina). The island was then, together with most of the Dalmatian coast, under the rule of the Venetian Republic. On Hvar in 1510, a popular uprising against the local nobles broke out, which lasted with varying intensity until 1514. The Venetian authorities then sent considerable armed forces, which, after defeating the rebels at sea and on land, suppressed the rebellion. It is surprising, however, that Tuberon suggests in the above-mentioned passage that the outbreak of the revolt could have been provoked by the Venetians themselves, who feared the nobility allegedly favoring the King of Hungary. He also mentions the leading role of a clergyman who was supposed to encourage the plebs to act and initiate a revolt. Taking the mentioned text of Tuberon as a starting point, the author analyzes the political and social situation on the island of Hvar as well as the background and course of the events in the years 1510–1514. The author's goal is to establish what the grounds for Tuberon's presumptions were and to what extent they are true.
U ovom ćemo radu na temelju arhivske građe i relevantne povijesne literature rekonstruirati složene društveno-političke, kulturno-prosvjetne odnose i djelovanje Stefana Mitrova Ljubiše na području ...Dalmacije u XIX. stoljeću, otkrit ćemo nove detalje te sagledati mnoge pojave tijekom njegova bogatog društvenog i političkog djelovanja. Temeljitije proučavanje Ljubišinih govora, zapisnika sa sjednica Dalmatinskog sabora i Carevinskog vijeća dalo bi novo svijetlo za upotpunjavanje slike vremena u kojem je živio i stvarao Stefan Mitrov Ljubiša.
The paper analyses land property relations on the island of Mljet in the 19th century based on the information from different sources, especially from cadastre, land registry documentation and ...inherited estates. In order to understand them, the paper shows in detail the situation in other parts of Dalmatia at the time, but also their genesis on the island beginning from the 14th century. A special attention is paid to understanding the differences related to land property relations on the eastern and western part of Mljet in the 19th century.

The study of the Roman army in Dalmatia is not a neglected field of research. Besides many publications dealing with military camps or military units, there are also several synthetic texts covering ...this topic in more detail but the seminal work about the Roman army garrisoned in Dalmatia is still the chapter written by J. J. Wilkes in his book Dalmatia. Roman army studies in Dalmatia have advanced significantly in the last 50 years – quite a few excavations took place since 1969, epigraphic discoveries occurred as well and dozens of relevant papers and books have been published – but most of Wilkes’s conclusions are still pertinent. This overview is thus primarily intended as an update of chapter 7 of Wilkes’s Dalmatia, with a focus on information concerning the Roman imperial army in Dalmatia acquired through research in the last five decades.
U članku će se dati kratak prikaz pristupa samoubojstvu između dva svjetska rata. Ujedno će se pojasniti problematika istraživanja samoubojstava u Dalmaciji između 1918. i 1939. Ukratko će se ...izložiti utjecaj književnosti i medija na imitaciju samoubojstava. Analizirat će se tekstovi novinskih izvještaja o samoubojstvima u Dalmaciji koja su se dogodila u razdoblju između dva svjetska rata. Obradit će se i odabir riječi u naslovima vijesti. Statistički će se analizirati slučajevi prema dobi, spolu, metodi, lokaciji te mjesečnoj distribuciji. Jedan je od ciljeva rada istražiti jesu li vijesti iz novina utjecale ili potaknule imitacije. Pokušat će se utvrditi i jesu li postojali slučajevi imitacije unutar istoga mjesta, tj. mikrolokacije.
The paper analyzed texts of newspaper reports of suicides in Dalmatia that occurred in the period between the two world wars. Words used in headlines were analyzed separately. Suicides were statistically analyzed according to age, gender, method, location, and monthly distribution. Most of the cases were reported during May and June. During 1936 and 1937, there was a rapid increase of suicides in media coverage. There is no evidence that the number of suicides really increased during these years. Statistics show the existence of gender preferences for certain suicide methods. The morning was the most common time of day for suicide in Dalmatia. Newspapers were inappropriate according to today’s WHO instructions. Texts were full of details, the romanticization of suicide and violation of deceased person’s privacy. Results of the research showed that news reports did not cause mass suicide imitations. However, there are cases of individual imitations. In some micro-locations (smaller settlements and their surroundings), there is evidence that some cases were influenced by earlier suicides. However, the time period between original and imitated cases varies from few weeks to ten years. This shows that time is not variable in imitations performed in micro-locations.
The Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO) represents a global warm period (approximately 17–14.7 Ma) interrupting a long-term period of Cenozoic cooling. To elucidate if bauxitization took place in ...southeastern European mid-latitude areas during the MCO, we studied a section of undated massive karst bauxite (Crveni Klanac, CK) in central Dalmatia, Croatia, hosted in Upper Cretaceous limestones and overlain by Miocene Sinj Basin lacustrine deposits. Integrated mineralogical, morphological and geochemical analyses indicate the predominant mineral phases of the homogenous bauxite matrix are authigenic, subhedral to euhedral kaolinite and gibbsite. The in-situ mineralization was a consequence of pedogenic processes, indicating the CK bauxites formed autochthonously. In situ U–Pb zircon ages of the lower, middle and upper parts of the CK bauxite are very similar, dominated by Miocene and Oligocene ages, indicating that they all share similar protolith(s). Subsequent high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-ID-TIMS) analyses indicate a maximum depositional age (MDA) for the pre-bauxitic material of 16.9576 ± 0.021 Ma (2
σ
uncertainty, incorporating decay constant uncertainty). This MDA, a maximum age of autochthonous bauxitization, coincides with the onset of the MCO. Based on currently available geochronological constraints, the maximum timeframe for CK bauxitization was less than ~ 700 ka, which matches the records of the MCO in paleo-mid-latitude Europe. The potential imprint of pre-17 Ma bauxitization and contribution of older (i.e., Upper Paleogene) bauxite deposits resedimented to the CK profile, as well as degree of potential parautochthonous origin of the CK bauxites, is yet to be investigated. More than simply aligning with regional and local reconstructions of continental climatic conditions during the onset and the early stages of the MCO, the high degree of autochthony of the CK bauxites provide a precise climatic constraint. For in-situ bauxitization to occur in the southeastern parts of mid-latitude continental Europe, paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental conditions must have had mean annual temperature greater than 17–22 °C and mean annual precipitation of more than 1100–1200 mm.
