An Ambassador of
Cavtat: Baltazar Baldo Bogišić (1834 - 1908) |
|
Baltazar Baldo Bogišić |
In 1869
he accepted the professors post at
University of Odessa. He not only taught
but also traveled the surrounding areas
attempting to learn the law customs of
the varies peoples that inhabited it.
In 1872
Montenegro's king Nikola invited him to
produce the Civil laws. Baltazar
accepted and went to Paris where he
endeavored to complete the task. He was
interrupted during the war between
Turkey and Russia - he was sent to
Bulgaria to participate in organizing
the court system (as a part of the
Russian's Civil Chancellery).
Baltazar returned to Paris at the end of
1887. By the first half of 1888 the
Montenegro's king had already signed the
laws that Baltazar had written.
King Nikola then made him the Minister
of Justice of Montenegro so he could
oversee the execution of the said laws.
At Baltazar's suggestion, in 1898 the
laws were adjusted to better reflect the
actual execution of their mandates.
He left the post of Minister of Justice
of Montenegro in 1898 and traveled to
Paris where he lived until his last
days.
Baltazar Baldo Bogišić passed away in
Rijeka on April 24, 1908 en route to his
native Cavtat.
A bibliophile, during his life Baltazar
had collected over 18,000 rare volumes
which, together with his private
correspondence of 10,092 letters, he
left to his native Cavtat.

Baltazar
Baldo Bogišić, a scientist, jurist of
European fame, and a member of many
intellectual societies, was born in
Cavtat on December 7, 1834.
His father Vlaho did not yield to his
son's wish to further his education
elsewhere. Baltazar remained in Cavtat
employed at his father's company
(commerce and trade).
After his father's death in 1856, he
decided to turn toward the studies. He
finished his high schooling in Venice in
1959 and went on to study the law at
University of Vienna. He attended
lectures in philosophy, philology and
history as well and not only in Vienna,
but in Berlin, Munich, etc.
In 1862 (in Giesen) he had passed all
the PhD requirements and soon after was
hired as an administrator of the
Viennese court library. After the
promotion ('Doctor of Law' Baltazar
spent four years at the Viennese court
as an advisor. His duties extended to
the advisory in the Srijem-Banat area
where he was to organize, develop and
oversee the educational system. |
