Bemerkung:

Erste Ausgabe dieser monumentalen und reich illustrierten Geschichte der Kroaten, so komplett. - "Vjekoslav Klaic (1849 ? 928) was a Croatian historian and writer, most famous for his monumental work History of the Croats. ... Among his historical works, the special place belongs to the monumental history Povijest Hrvata (History of the Croats), published by Kugli in five books (1899?1911). Unfortunately, Klaic did not manage to finish it. In a text about this book, another famous Croatian historian, Ferdo Šišic, pointed out (1914): `Materials, scientific method and details of Klaic`s work surpass all the existing works of this kind in our historiography`, while Jaroslav Šidak said that `Klaic`s book, despite all of its shortcomings, has still not been surpassed regarding the wealth of information in its presentation of the 15th and 16th centuries`" (Wikipedia Abruf vom 21.03.2019). - Gebräunt und stellenw. fleckig. Vortitel teils mit Spuren eines hs. Namens. Titel von Bd. 4 gestempelt. Vortitel von Bd. 2 mit kl. Randläsuren.
