Rafo Arneri\u27s Contribution to the Croatian National Revival in Dalmatia
Abstract
Kako ime dr. Rafe Arnerija nije našlo mjesto u “Hrvatskom biografskom leksikonu”, a jest u nekim manje značajnim edicijama slične vrste, to autor drži neophodnim podrobnije prikazati njegov politički lik, odnosno njegov doprinos hrvatskom narodnom preporodu u Dalmaciji. U svom se radu oslonio na u zadnje vrijeme tiskane radove koji evociraju i nastojanja naslovnika glede političkog osvješćivanja stanovništva ove pokrajine, napose potrebe njena sjedinjenja s banskom, prekovelebitskom Hrvatskom. Autor to čini prikazom njegova djelovanja kao vođe narodnog preporoda na otoku Korčuli: najprije kao načelnika Korčule, potom u svojstvu saborskog zastupnika u Zadru, odnosno društveno-javnog djelatnika općine. Autor se nada da je ovime barem dijelom ispravljena nepravda učinjena zaslužnom preporoditelju Rafi Arneriju.Since dr. Rafo Arneri’s name did not appear in the Croatian biographical lexicon (Hrvatski biografski leksikon) while it did in some less important editions of a similar kind, the author deems it necessary to elaborate upon this political figure, that is upon his contribution to the Croatian national revival in Dalmatia. In the article, the author draws upon works which have been recently published and which evoke the attempts made by Rafo Arneri regarding the political awakening of the population of the region, especially the need of its unification with that part of Croatia over the Velebit mountain chain which was under the Croatian duke. The author does this by describing his activities as the leader of the Croatian national revival on the island of Korčula: first as the major of Korčula and afterwards as a representative in the Dalmatian Parliament in Zadar and as a social-public figure in general. The author hopes that his work at least partially corrects the injustice done to this deserving member of the revival movementSimilar works
