Luka Botić (Split, 22 Janury 1830 – Đakovo, 22 August 1863) was a Croatian writer and politician.[1]
Biography
[edit]Botić was born into a poor family in the Veli Varoš neighborhood of Split. He was educated in a seminary, and later went on to study theology in Zadar, but was expelled and did not become priest. After leaving Zadar, he briefly stayed in Belgrade with Matija Ban. In 1852, Botić arrived in Zagreb, and was for some time employed at Ljudevit Gaj's printing office. He later worked for the Archdiocese of Đakovo, but was fired in 1860 because he refused to take an oath to king Franz Joseph I.[1][2][3]
In 1861, with help from Josip Juraj Strossmayer, he was elected to the Croatian Parliament to represent Đakovo. There, he advocated the unification of Croatia and Dalmatia and spoke against the Dalmatian Autonomist Party.[1][2][3]
He died of tuberculosis on 22 August 1863.[1][2][3]
Writing
[edit]Botić was the first person to use the Croatian language as a form of political and national expression.[4] He was also the first Croatian writer to portray Christian–Muslim relations in a positive light.[2][3]
