(Dubrovnik, c. 1393 – Lausanne, c. 20 October 1443) Ivan Stojković was born in Dubrovnik around 1393 in the prominent plebeian family. After primary education, Stojković joined the Dominican order. He studied theology and philosophy at universities in Padua (1414 – 1417) and in Sorbonne in Paris (1417 – 1420) supported by the scholarship he received from the Dubrovnik Republic. In 1422, he already received his master’s and doctoral degrees.

Ivo Vojnović was born in a prominent family in Dubrovnik. He was educated in Dubrovnik and Split and eventually Zagreb, where he studied law. He was devoted to theatre and was a playwright at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb until 1911, after which he decided to live as a professional writer and travelled to Italy, Prague, Budapest and Belgrade looking for work.
(Dubrovnik, 1547 – Dubrovnik, 22 May 1615) The centuries-old conflict and rift in the Dubrovnik patriciate can be traced back to the beginning of the 13th century, to 1205, when Dubrovnik, after the tragic death of Rector Damjan Juda, fell into the hands of the Venetian Republic. The rift continued after the end of Venetian rule (1358) and continued throughout the “golden age of Dubrovnik” in the 15th and 16th centuries. The conflict culminated at the beginning of the 17th century, and particularly its latter half, so relationships in the Dubrovnik patriciate became irrevocably damaged in the 18th century and remained so until the fall of the Republic in 1808.

(Dubrovnik, 14 December 1672 – Dubrovnik, 8 September 1735) One of the phenomena in the 18th century Croatian literary historiography were historical records such as memoirs, diaries and chronicles. After the 17th century and great names of Croatian historiography, like Ivan Lučić (Lucius) from Trogir and Pavle Ritter Vitezović from Senj, the 18th century represented somewhat of a stagnation. However, the case of Dubrovnik and its historian Junije Restić (Resti) nevertheless represented a step forward.
