Uvodnik

We present to you the second volume of the scholarly journal Miscellanea Hadriatica et Mediterranea published by the Department of History at the University of Zadar. It took a little longer than planned for it to be published, but as in many other projects, every beginning is difficult and some unforeseen obstacles had to be surmounted. In accordance to the Journal’s concept, which is open to contributions covering various historical topics connected with wide Adriatic and Mediterranean spheres, this volume includes papers dealing not only with classical historical subject-matters but also with the more interdisciplinary ones, such as two papers closely linked with art history and one largely concentrated on presenting restauration and conservation of a carriage. Reviews of three recent scholarly books add to the diversity of contributions in this volume. Some of the papers, similarly to the ones in the previous number, have been dedicated to prematurely deceased colleague from our Department, Franjo Smiljanić, PhD.
