PARIS, March 25 (Hina) - The French edition of the first volume of
the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences' encyclopaedia of
Croatian history and culture "Croatia and Europe" was presented in
Paris last Monday.
The first volume includes the early period of Croatian culture,
from the seventh to the twelfth century.
The edition was presented by its editor Ivan Supicic and a French
university professor of mediaeval history of art, Jean-Pierre
Caillete.
The French edition was co-published by the Paris publishing house
Somogy, which is specialised in publishing literature and
monographs from the area of art history.
The edition was published under the title "Tresors de la Croatie
ancienne" (The Treasure of Ancient Croatia)
The project was realised with the financial support of UNESCO,
within a programme of the world's decade of cultural development.
The complete HAZU edition, which includes five volumes, is being
financed by the Croatian National Sabor, and the ministries of
culture and science.
Apart from the original Croatian edition (the co-publisher of the
first volume was Zagreb's publishing house AGM), there are plans to
publishing the whole edition in French and English.
The English edition of the first volume was recently presented in
London. Supicic believes the whole encyclopaedia could be
completed in eight to ten years.
