The Croat Comet Fritzie Zivic (originally Živčić) and Nikola Tesla
Fritzie Zivic was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993.


Several books were written about his life (below is the front page of one of
them, Timpav: CHAMP - Fritzie Zivcic - The life and time of the Croat Comet. His
four brothers were all boxers, and two of them, Pete and Jack Zivic, represented
the USA at the 1920 Olympic Games at Antwerpen, Belgium. Jack won the Gold medal
for the USA in featherweight category.

Croatian Dream Team in Udbina 2015

Croatian Martyrs in Udbina, 2015.
The older boy is wearing a typical Lika cap.

This proud family is from the region of Zavalje in Bosnia and Herzgovina, near
the town of Bihać.
Zavalje is a part of the Lika-Senj bishopric in Croatia.

Udbina in Lika, with its Church of Croatian Martyrs, above the legendary Krbava
Field.

As we can see, Zavalje is in the region where the border between Croatia and B&H
makes an unnatural rectangular twist at the expense of Croatia.
This twist is a result of communist manipulations in ex-Yugoslavia immediately
after 1945.
Near the left upper corner of the map are the famous Plitvice Lakes. For more
detials see the Google Maps.

For c omparison we provide von Zuccheri's map from 1848, corresponding to
roughly the same area, with indicated the then border:

ST PAUL THE APOSTLE SPENT THREE MONTHS ON THE ISLAND OF MLJET IN CROATIA

Saint Paul had shipwreck on Croatian island of Mljet, and not on Malta. This is
the subject of the monumental book written in elite Latin language by Ignjat
Đurđević, published in Venice in 1730. Ignjat Đurđevic was Croatian Baroque
writer from the city of Dubrovnik. The island of Mljet is not far from
Dubrovnik.



Until recently it was believed that the first person to identify the location of
Saint Paul's shipwreck near Mljet was the father of European historigraphy, the
Greek emperor and historian Constanine Porphyrogenitus (905-959) who, describing
the south Dalmatian islands in his work "On Administering the Empire", wrote the
following:

> Another big island is Mljet. It was described by Saint Luke in the Acts where
> he calls it Melita. Saint Paul was there bitten by the viper but he shook it
> off into the fire where it was burned.

However, scholars have recently discovered new information in The Geography of
distinguished Armenian scholar Ananias of Shirak, written between 592-636 AD,
which confirms that Saint Paul stayed in Dalmatia following a shipwreck that
happened on the Adriatic island of Melita (Mljet).

Lake) near the island of Mljet. Photo by Nikola Piasevoli.

After Porphyrogenitus, the 16th century Italian historian of Dubrovnik (Ragusa)
Serafino Razzi, Dominican and for a while Vicar of Capitular of the Ragusan
Metropolitan see, claimed the same. He set forth the following:

> At the end of this presentation on the island of Mljet, I shall tell you that
> many serious writers think that this Ragusan Mljet was the very island where
> Saint Paul the Apostle escaped after the shipwreck and there he was bitten by
> a viper as written in chapter 28 of the Acts. One of them is the honorable
> cardinal Gaetano.

Razzi thought that the shipwreck couldn not have taken place in Malta because
Malta was situated in the African, instead of in the Adriatic Sea.



Đurđević claimed at the beginning of his book the following

> I say and I claim that before the chivalrous Hospitaller Order of St John
> moved to African Melita, the glory of Saint Paul's shipwreck site had been
> granted, without any hesitation or doubt, to Illyrian Melita.

It is interesting that while Malta was under the Spanish government, Đurđević
was supported in his views by both English and French scholars. However, when
Malta came under the English protectorate, the circumstances changed and the
English writers stood up for the Maltese option. Something similar happened to
the French writers when Malta was conquered by Napolen Bonaparte.

The following important scholarly book dealing with the shipwreck of St Paul on
the Adriatic island of Mljet has been published in 2015:





Zlatko Pavetić (ed): The Journey of Paul the Apostle to Rome led over the
Croatian Island of Mljet (Melita) / Put apostola Pavla za Rim vodio je preko
hrvatskog otoka Mljeta (Melite), Proceedings of the academic conference held on
Mljet (Melita) 15 October 2011 / Zbornik radova znanstvenog skupa odr\anog na
Mljetu (Meliti) 15. listopada 2011., Zagreb, 2015., ISBN 978-953-58133-0-9, 356
pp, in English and Croatian, hard cover, with color photos and maps



Selected articles from the Proceedings:


Dr Miho Demović: PREFACE

Dr Miho Demović: TWO MILLENIA OF DUBROVNIK TRADITION OF SAINT PAUL'S SHIPWRECK
IN THE WATERS OF CROATIAN ISLAND OF MLJET, Conclusion and Summary

The spine of the book represents the Mljet viper. It is probably the unique such
book in the world.

Nikola Tesla distinugished Croatian-American scientist and inventor
and his high-school education in Croatia


Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) in his laboratory in Colorad Springs in 1899,
with the book  Ruđer Bošković, a famous Croatian scientist.


Nikola Tesla


Martin Sekulić (1833-1905), professor of mathematics and Physics in Rakovica
(Karlovca),
in Croatia, in the High Real School which Nikola Tesla attended in the years
1870-1873.
Sekulić is probably the most important professor during entire schooling of
Nikola Tesla.
His experiments enthused young Tesla for electricity and magnetism.
He was a member of the Academy of Sciences in Zagreb (in the division of Natural
Sciences and Mathematics).



The working language in the High Real School (Obere Realschule) in Rakovica was
German.
Rakovica was then a part of the Croatian Miliatry Frontier,
 i.e., (according to the then terminology) of  Kroatischen Militär-Grenze, or
Hrvatska krajina, or Hrvatska Vojna krajina.
Later, the name of Hrvatsko-slavonska Vojna krajina was also used.


Some of the subjects that young Nikola Tesla listened to as a student of the
VI'th grade of the (roughly, age of 16).
The source is  school yearbook of the Rakovac High Real School for the period
of  1872-1874.

Kroatische Sprache - Croatian language

Mathematics

Physics


These subjects had been described not only in German, but in Croatian langauge
as well:


Hrvatski jezik - Croatian language

Mathematics

Physics

Here we stress that the Croatian Language was the mother tongue of Nikola Tesla.
This fact is missing
in literally all biographical sources (including monographs) dealing with Nikola
Tesla.
It is a well documented fact by available school yearbooks from the period of
1870-1873.

We conclude with the (duplicate of) matriculation form that Nikola Tesla earned
in Rakovica in 1873:

The title page of the (duplicate of) Nikola Tesla's matriculation form, issued
in Croatia's capital Zagreb in 1885..

As we can see (in the second last line), one of the subjects
Nikola Tesla's final exam was Croatian language.
Plese, see a more detiled information.

Selfportrait of young Julije Klović, 1498-1578, a famous Croatian minature
painter,
kept in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Text arround the upper border:

Iulius Clouius Croatus sui ipsius effigiator Ao:aetat: 30.salut: 1528.


Iulius Clouius Croatus

With sadness we have to point at the following mistake made by the
Kunshistoriches museum in Vienna:

Iulius Clouius [sic!] sui ipsius effigiator Ao:aetat: 30.salut: 1528.

i.e., Croatus has been omitted on the web page of the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
Also at Österreichs Portal zu Kunst, Kultur und Bildung, www.kulturpool.at

The same mistake can be seen on europeana.eu (as well as here), referring to
Kunshitorisches Museum as the data provider:


Noticed on 21 Jan. 2013, see JPG_kunsthistorishecs_museum, JPG_europeana.eu
The mistake at Kunsthistorisches Museum has been corrected in March 2014,
but at europeana.eu it is still not corrected (as of April 2014).
As of September 2014, europeana.eu changed its web page to the indicated
address.
Also, europeana.eu changed its link from referring Kunshitorisches Museum (with
corrected mistake)
to kulturpool.at, containing the same mistake.
