Bogumil Hrabak

Bogumil Hrabak (Serbian Cyrillic: Богумил Храбак; 11 January 1927 – 12 December 2010) was a Yugoslav and Serbian historian, university professor and pedagogue. With a prolific and versatile career, he was considered "one of the last polyhistors of Yugoslav historiography."

He studied history from 1946 to 1951 at the University of Belgrade and later in Sarajevo, where he received his doctorate in 1957. He worked in Belgrade at the Faculty of Philosophy (1951-1957), the Military History Institute until 1958 and the Institute of Social Sciences until 1965, then at the Faculty of Philosophy in Priština, where he founded the Department of History, and from 1979 until his retirement in 1993 at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad. He was a full member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo (1978-1990). He was a historian of wide interests, who also dealt with various aspects of Serbo-Croatian history, especially foreign trade and diplomacy of the Republic of Dubrovnik.
