Ivan Tkalčić

Ivan Krstitelj Tkalčić (4 May 1840 – 11 May 1905; "Ivan Krstitelj" is the Croatian name for John the Baptist) was a noted Croatian historian and a Catholic priest and prebendary.

Tkalčić was born on 4 May 1840 in Zagreb, Kingdom of Croatia, to father Janko from Samobor and mother Bara née Martinjakova. He was ordained a priest on 7 September 1862, becoming a curate in Sisak. On 10 October 1867, when he became the prebendary of the Zagreb Cathedral, a post he held until his death on 11 May 1905. His first publication was an article in Narodne novine in 1859. This was followed by many works pertaining history,[1] especially the history of Zagreb and the Croatian church.[2] Tkalčić became a corresponding member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (then Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts) in 1875, and a full member in 1882.[3] From then onwards he held the position of the academy's librarian until 1892 and archivist in 1896.[4]
