Lovro Mihačević
Lovro Mihačević (Kreševo, July 23, 1856 – November 25, 1920)[1][2]) was a Croatian Catholic priest, author, albanologist[1] and Croatian[1] epic poet from Bosnia. He served as a missionary in Albania, spoke fluent Albanian,[2] and published the Albanian-related works Po Albaniji (1911) and Albanski problem i Srbija i Austro-Ugarska (The Albanian Problem and Serbia and Austro-Hungary, 1913).[3] He heavily influenced his pupil Gjergj Fishta, a renowned Albanian epic poet.[4]
Mihačević contributed to Albanian culture. While working as missionary in Albania, in Franciscan schools in Troshan and Shkodra, he instilled the love for literature and mother tongue of his pupil, later famous Albanian writer, "Albanian Homer", Gjergj Fishta.[5]
