Paškal Jukić
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paškal "Paško" Jukić[2] (/paʃkal jukitɕ/) (Latin: Paschalis Juchich;[3] 1748 – 7 November 1806) was a preacher, musician, and professor of philosophy in the Makarska lyceum in present-day Croatia. He is best known for editing the Italian-Croatian bilingual newspaper Il Regio Dalmata – Kraglski Dalmatin, considered to be the first periodical printed in Croatian, published between 1806 and 1810.[4][5] Since Jukić belonged to a group of Franciscan friars who went on to become prominent figures in the cultural life of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second half of the 19th century,[6] some sources compare him to other influential writers of the time such as Vuk Karadžić and Ljudevit Gaj.[7]
