A famous Servian author; born at Trshitch, Nov. 7, 1787; died at Vienna, Feb. 7, 1864. The two great works of his life were the reformation of the Servian literary language (which, up to his time had been a very debased medium, being either rude Slavonian or a hybrid jumble of Serb and Slavonian), and the publication of the "Popular Serb Songs" (4 vols., 1814-33; 3d ed. 1841-46). His epoch-making "Dictionary" appeared in 1818. The songs attracted wide-spread attention, and were translated into every European tongue. He was the founder of modern Servian literature.
