In his paper the author looks back to, amongst other things, one of the main projects of Prof. Ante Glavičić and that was the launch of the publication of the scientific journal the Senj Almanac the first volume of which was printed in 1965. Namely, the author is now the only surviving member of the editorial board from its very beginnings, in which he himself collaborated, and amongst other works he also published his doctoral dissertation under the title of Današnji senjski govor (Modern speech of Senj). The concept of the Senj Almanac, the contents, frequency of publication, how deeply and widely to engage in the issues relating to Senj, all of this were questions which werecontemplated upon the launch of this academic journal today known and recognised throughout the nation as well as further afield.This scientific journal was from the very beginning a kind of encyclopaedia full of information from various fields such as: archaeology, history, geography, ethnology, literature, culture and so on which relates to the city of Senj and its wider surroundings and with its scientific approach interests pupils, students and numerous scientists in their professional work. Today, almost five decades since its launch, the Senj Almanac continues to be issued and its themes, quality and academic approach have remained loyal to the fundamental ideas of its founder Ante Glavičić.

Archaeologist, museumist, conservator, researcher Prof. Ante Glavičić was one of those from Senj, who encouraged the research of the cultural history of their city. In his heart was the glagolitism of Senj, especially the glagolitic press founded in the city in the 15th century, which created a notable publishing catalogue. The catalogue consisted of liturgical and even more nonliturgical books, intended for glagolitic readers to perform worship as well as for instruction. The first publication (in 1494) from the press came Misal, then (in 1496) Spovid općena (Confessionale generale of Michel Carcan), Naručnik plebanušev (1507; Manipulus curatorum Guida de monte Rocherii), Transit sv. Jerolima (1508; Transito de sancto Girolamo), Mirakuliblažene Deve Marije (1508; Miracoli della gloriosa Vergine Maria), Korizmenjak (1508;Quadragesimale Roberto Caracciolo). Senj’s glagolitic editions are valuable and important culturally-historically, linguistically and, of course, typographical monuments. Very few original copies have been preserved (the copy of Spovidi općene is unique), so they should be re-issued, and this is to continue with the release of their reproductions and critical editions where Prof. Ante Glavičić left off. It is up to the successors to put into effect Glavičić’s efforts to make a replica of the printing press from the 15th century for Senj with which it would be possible to print some pages of Misal as a cultural souvenir of Senj.

In the search for historical information about the main character of Senj’s Uskoks epopee Ivan Vlatković (Ivo Senjanin) the author Mijatović travelled to Senj at the end of 1969 and then met Ante Glavičić, the director of the Centre for Culture and Education of the Municipality of Senj, and the Senj City Museum and editor of the Senj Almanac. Their then chance meeting, in the 1980s turned into a collaboration in the research and presentation of the Senj Uskok issues in scientific, cultural and events programme which Glavičić organised: 450th anniversary of the arrival of the Klis Uskoks in Senj (1537 – 1987) and the 120th anniversary of the Senj ShippingSociety and steamship industry (1867 – 1987) 23rd – 24th July 1987; Meeting of publishers of epic poems and students of the oral literature of Croatia 21st – 22nd July 1989; the Significance of Senj to Croatia at the crossroads of 15th and 16th centuries 7th – 8th December 1990; the Revitalisation of the Ožegovićianum Castle in Senj 20th October 1995; the Editorial policy of the Senj Almanac, at the occasion of the 30th anniversary of its launch (1965-1995); 300th anniversary of the birth of the Senj poet Mateša Kuhačević (1697– 1997) 21st June 1997. Over the following years the collaboration between Glavičić and the author Mijatović was frequent and periodical, depending on the occasion, but also quite intense. Glavičić continuously expressed himself as an archaeologist, historical researcher and museumist, an excellent organiser of scientific-academic and cultural-events programmes and as the competent editor of the Senj Almanac for which the president of the Republic of Croatia Dr. Franjo Tuđman honoured him with the Order of DanicaHrvatska with the face of Marko Marulić.

Remembering his friendship with the late Prof. Ante Glavičić – in this first decade – the author states: we, as we live now, work and try to do only good things, like him, but we will also inevitably disappear when it is our time, not knowing when that will be?!Ante’s time came when he was 72, studiously working 41 years of service. He lived 6 years into his pension, although still working and useful. He left unexpectedly, calmly, not burdening anyone with his patient’s pain. His friends said: and so they leave life those who the Almighty rewarded believing that – or maybe not - we might also experience it ourselves? According to the author it would be true happiness! With this unavoidable fact and behind him now only memories live of the remaining trace different from the others – obviously due to people’s various ways of life. The memory isbordered with personal conduct, character and a wide human activity, which someone performed or by some facts separated himself from others by their habits and preferences. Does the author also really believe that this was the case with Prof. Ante Glavičić!? With his declining years the author of these lines understood that there is only one happiness, and that is the duty which we have (or don’t have!), and too often the only consolation is work, because the secret of the human being is not only in that it lives, but in that – for that which it lives? Ante obviously knew why he wanted to live from his days of studies to the last conversation about his Senj and Velebit, which he also intrinsically embraced with his gained knowledge. For the author he has remained Velebit’s Ante, because it is also there that he best got to know how to follow him on his trial, when he had the opportunity and possibility, so again he returns alongside him again on this trail…

In the recent past there has not been such a powerful intellectual person with an emphasised positive national and local charge in the city of Senj as Prof. Ante Glavičić was. As a collaborator in the Senj Museum Society for many years I spoke with him about the many cultural features, plans and visions of the improvement and modernisation of the historical attractions of this city. Every stone, every street or building was for him life in the heart of observing, studying and finding solutions in how to change, enhance and make them available to modern generations. His intentions and visions often crossed objective possibilities, but also the favour of the authoritativefactors in the public and social life of the community in which he worked. But nevertheless despite my opinion, Prof. Glavičić in his scientific and professional work did succeed at a time when many of us his colleagues did not believe, or when we were overcome with dejection. This is witnessed by his results in the many years of work as a scientist, curator of the Senj Museum Society and as director of the Senj City Museum. Here I only wish to mention some of thosewhich relate to his cultural activities and plans which resulted in the better quality of coexistence.

Writing about the memory of Ante Glavičić, a man who had a sense for the health and real cultural-historic values of his town and its surroundings, the author gives us a personal memoryof his first meeting with Ante Glavičić upon his arrival in Senj thanks to Msgr. Vladimir Kraljić, head of the archives of the Senj-Modruš bishopric, after which followed a rich collaboration in the scientific field and his inclusion as a permanent collaborator in the Senj Almanac which Glavičić edited. He notes that Glavičič credited the author as he began to systematically deal with written scientific works in the almanac. He concludes that if today it is possible to say that he had done anything in the field of science, then it is certainly largely thanks to Glavičić who gave him the ideas for various themes from Senj’s church history which would be necessary to elaborate and publish in the Senj Almanac. Remembering Glavičić, he regrets that he was not more persistent in their meetings and persuade him that they go together through Senj and he translate the speech of his town as its admirer in an authorial comprehensible way. The author had always thinking that there was time, whilst Glavičić in their meetings always acted as though there was never enough time so the author spared such wishes and so one professional tale of Senj’s interesting historical story has been left untold.

This text is a personal memory of one dear man and colleague, whose precious friendship I enjoyed the whole of our personal and professional activity, from student days to his premature departure. We lived in turbulent times and we had to endure many things. For us, historians, it was clear that all times were turbulent, but our period was particular with so many wars, revolutions and dictators of all kinds, which we witnessed and which we personally suffered and endured. Some of this I wanted to stress as a friend, with Ante, with whom I spent so many years. I am grateful to him for everything that he gave as a great man and friend on our mutual journey, which he prematurely, but nevertheless in his own way successfully completed. This volume of the Senj Almanac is also proof of this, a journal which he started, as well as the many individuals who have dedicated their texts to him. And my humble lines are only a fraction of so many memories of the self-denying and great man, to whom his beloved Homeland is so indebted, its science and culture. I thank him for everything!

In the line of greats of Senj’s history and guardians of Croatian heritage the distinctive character of Senj’s Ante Glavičić, curator and long time director of the Senj City Museum stands out. Livingand working in the environment from where he originated and in which it is difficult to be “a prophet in one’s own native land” he did more than many on the Croatian level, who had better conditions,political support and all other circumstances. Dedicating his entire private and public life to Senj’s cultural-history, and thereby Croatian heritage too he worked in a financially meagre environment, although with a rich inspiration, the incentives and the challenges of heritage. Out of respect and affection they called him "signor Ante" – many just called him "professor" – because in truth he was a professor, but also a noble gentleman, a knight – sometimes also Don Quixote – of Senj’s, Croatia’s spirit, culture, heritage and identity. His greatest successes were not his extensive architecturalrestoration ventures (the Vukasović Palace, the Nehaj fortress), but the Senj Almanac with which Senj and Croatia are promoted throughout the world even today. Added to this also should be the numerous anniversary celebrations of deserving people from Senj and Senj’s part in Croatian and European history. He enjoyed the independent, free Croatia for which he worked for with all his spirit and physical strength, the realisation of which he prepared. Especially worth mentioning is the fact that he made good use of Senj’s huge potential "in the world" and his Senj friends, prominent intellectuals, scientists and influential social personalities, as well as the importance of Senj and its heritage in national and wider dimensions. This is best witnessed in the large number of collaborators, the enviable quality of Senj’s Almanacs and all the publications of the Senj City Museum’s Society, such as the reprints ofSenj’s glagolitic editions. This is the path which his successors should follow, which should be continued by the Senj City Museum and Senj’s Museum Society, not giving up on the basics of “signor Ante’s” principles of activity (love for Senj and Croatia), but towards the adaptations of new times, using new approaches and new technologies. Although in everything that “signor Ante” did, initiatedand encouraged – he was spiritus movens the greatest part of Senj’s and many general Croatian cultural events – he raised himself as an indestructible monument, certainly deserving of Senj and the people of Senj to outwardly express with deeds their recognition, gratitude and respect for him. Therefore we are waiting for one of Senj’s streets to be named after him, that Senj erects a worthy monument to him, but mostly that the Senj City Museum and the Senj Museum Society continue with the work and zeal, the joy and dedication which Prof. Ante Glavičić showed. "Signor Ante" remains in our memory and in out hearts firm like the Senj fort which for centuries had resisted the enemy, the ravages of time and darkness of oblivion. And let it be so. Amen.

In these memories are described the half a century of the friendship and collaboration between Prof. Ante Glavičić, the great museumist and the historian Mira Kolar-Dimitrijević. From 1952 to 2003 this collaboration gave birth to 13 works by Mira Kolar-Dimitrijević in theSenj Almanac. These works were mainly from economic history and with the focus on the local chamber of commerce in Senj, the never constructed Senj railway, and the economic life of Senj during World War II, but there are also other interesting works upon which the newly-discovered lives of some of the well-known in the historiography and politics of the forgotten people of Senj. These works have in a significant part influenced the whole of the author’s vision of the economic history of Croatia as well as on the national history of the 19th and 20th centuries. These works could not have been written if there was no interpersonal cooperation between the author and Prof. Ante Glavičić, the editor of the Senj Almanac from 1980 to 2003 and the documented quotes from the letters of Ante Glavičić. The work is an example of how much can be accomplished when the right goal is focused upon.

I got to know Ante Glavičić (Senj, 1931-2003) as a history student in the 1950s whilst he was a student of archaeology and history, and at the same time also manager of the People’s Museum in Pazin. From then on we were very good friends and colleagues. I especially learnt from him a series of practical parts of working life, because he was, for example, also the leader of the Senj City Museum, society and editorial board, an experienced restorer and co-restorer of the existing old and newly discovered historical heritage but also of great historical buildings. Amongst other things he was also an editor and he published two editions of the “Senj 1388 statute”, which myself and the academic Lujo Margetić also organised. He rightfully deserved the title of museum advisor and even more recognition, because he was an excellent cultural, scientific and professional worker, with a great legacy, e.g. a series of museum and other exhibitions. As a good friend he enthusiastically helped me in my long and often very difficult journey through life.

The Vlaška Peć Cave, about 10 km north of Senj, is a small cave, almost entirely lit by daylight. Besides speleological research, paleontological and archaeological investigations have also been conducted, which have established that cave bears lived there and that humans also lived in it during the Bronze and Iron Ages. Ante Glavičič carried out the first archaeological reconnaissance of Vlaška Peć (in 1969), when he tried to figure out the strange inscriptions in and near the cave and he also wrote about them in 1982. The author has investigated the cave since 1989, when he began to cooperate with Ante Glavičić, and he wrote about the mysterious signs in1992. In 1996 the author visited Vlaška Peć with Ante and Miroslav Glavičić, who in the abandoned test holes of previous investigators, looked for and found pieces of ceramics. Several photographs from that trip will bring back memories of the versatile Prof. Ante Glavičić, the history of Senj and its surroundings.

The author got to know his respected and dear colleague Ante Glavičić a long time ago as a young curator in the Archaeological Museum in Zadar. Although they were of different ages and lived in different cities, the author found Glavičić to be an honest, noble and a kind colleague, as well as a true lover of archaeology, history, natural sciences… and above all his native Senj and Velebit. The acquaintance, collaboration and friendship with his colleague Ante Glavičić in a special way enriched him in a professional and human respect. After his sudden departure from this world lovely memories and recollections remained of a man who possessed a great life ofenergy and versatility, of an honest man and a patriot who had dedicated his life to the common good, with this love of Senj and Velebit.
