ZAGREB ZAGREB, Oct 25 (Hina) - The 450th anniversary of the birth of Faust Vrancic, historian, inventor and philosopher whose writings focused on logic and Christian ethics, was marked at the National university library in Zagreb on
Thursday. Vrancic, born in the central Adriatic town of Sibenik in 1551, is regarded as the first Croatian lexicographer. The clarity and simplicity of his ideas of technical constructions greatly contributed to European and world science. He is most famous for 'homo volans' which many scientists think has still not been sufficiently researched.(hina) ha sb
