Jovan Radonić (9 February 1873, Mol, Austria-Hungary — 25 November 1956, Yugoslavia) was a Serbian historian, librarian of Matica Srpska library[1] and member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Biography[]

Radonić graduated from the University of Vienna, where he studied under the tutelage of Konstantin Jireček and Vatroslav Jagić, and attended seminars given by Karl Krumbacher in Munich. In 1905, he taught at the University of Belgrade. In 1948 he joined the staff of the Institute of History of the Serbian Academy of Sciences. Radonić, a Slavist and Byzantinist, devoted his research to Balkan medieval history. He translated into Serbian and expanded Jireček’s History of the Serbs (vols. 1–4, Belgrade, 1922–25; 2nd ed., Belgrade, 1952).

He dedicated his first book to Ilarion Ruvarac who established critical approach of Serbian historiography.[2] In his work Đurađ Kastriot Skenderbeg i Arbanija u XV veku he had collected major documentary and literary sources about Skanderbeg.[3]
