Abstract
The material substrate for the article are the reminiscences of that Croatian writer and philologist, published in book form in 1985. The article deals with the following aspects of activity of Julije Benešić during his stay in Warsaw from 1930 to 1938: teaching a Croatian language course at the University of Warsaw, contacts with Polish and Slavic scholars (mainly linguists), contacts with Polish writers and artists, the Yugoslavian Library and statements about translations and translators, Croatian grammar together with a Croatian‑Polish dictionary, popularisation of knowledge about the Panslavic activities of Juraj Križanić (1618–1683), statements about difficulties faced by Poles in learning and understanding Croatian and Serbian. The multi‑faceted activity of J. Benešić in Poland and his accompanying observations enrich our knowledge on the history of Slavic studies in the inter‑war period.
