This is an important book about a man who had indebted not only the culture of the entire nation with his life but also, we dare say, the cultural horizons of the world as a whole. He created the work with which a new modern era in the historic development of not only the Serbian but also of the other South Slav people, their literacy and their culture began. Even today after so many years, his work does not cease to stir up interest, receive recognition and admiration not only of his own people but also of the cultural public throughout the world……is a book that all Serbian scientific and cultural workers will be grateful for, as will hopefully readers in India, to whom we recommend it heartilyâ€.
