Ivan Josipović, Pridraga u zaleđu Zadra

Abstract

The book Pridraga in the hinterland of Zadar was written by the art historian and university professor from the Department of Art History of the University of Zadar Ivan Josipović. The research enterprise published in this book is the result of a lengthy study of early Christian and pre-Romanesque reliefs found at the archaeological sites in Pridraga near Zadar. Comprehensive and detailed presentation of all early Christian and pre-Romanesque reliefs found in the Pridraga region until the year 2018 reflects importance of this book as a unique and systematic research project. Since Josipović earned his doctoral degree with the theme of pre-Romanesque reliefs,1 research work and analysis of reliefs from Pridraga were a part of his knowledge of the early medieval Croatian art. Pridraga in the hinterland of Zadar is a contribution not only to the art history but also to the history of the Early Middle Ages.
