Modern Slavic studies were founded by Vatroslav
Jagic (born in Varazdin, 1838-1923), professor of philology at
the Universities of Zagreb, Berlin, Vienna, Sankt Petersburg,
Odessa. He was a full member of the Petersburg's and Austrian
Academies of Sciences. A great importance for the development
of slavistic philology had the journal Archiv fur slavishe Philologie
that he founded in Berlin, and whose editor in chief he was during
45 years. He also initiated and organized the Seminar for Slavic
studies in Vienna in 1887, which later grew out to the Institute
of Slavic Studies. His scientific opus is enormous: if collected,
it would occupy about 100 books.
