Stanoje Stanojević

Stanoje Stanojević (Serbian Cyrillic: Станоје Станојевић; born in Novi Sad in 1874; died in Belgrade in 1937) was a Serbian historian, university professor, academic and a leader of many scientific and publishing enterprises.

Career

Stanojević finished university studies and philosophy doctorate in Vienna in 1896. He was a student of Karl Krumbacher at some point. In 1903, he became a professor of the Grande école in Belgrade. During Austro-Hungarian occupation of Serbia in World War I, Stanojević escaped to Sankt Petersburg, where he became university professor. Since 1917, he lectured at Sorbonne and at the University of London. In 1919, Stanojević became professor of the University of Belgrade.

Stanojević's interest in the relations between Serbia and the Byzantine empire, from the beginning of the 20th century, almost completely ceased in his later years, with the significant exception of his fruitful Serbian diplomatic studies, which also included the Byzantine component.

Works

Stanojević wrote many books about Serbian history, including:

• "Byzantium and the Serbs" ("Vizantija i Srbi")
• "Saint Sava" ("Sveti Sava")
• "Stefan Lazarević's biography" ("Biografija Stefana Lazarevića od Konstantina filozofa")
• "Studies on Serbian diplomacy" ("Studije o srpskoj diplomatici")
• "History of the Serbian People" ("Istorija srpskog naroda")
• "About South Slavs in the 6th, 7th, 8th centuries" ("O Južnim Slovenima u VI, VII, VIII veku")

He also organized and arranged the "Great National Encyclopedia of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes" ("Velika Narodna enciklopedija Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca"), which was the first work of the kind written in Serbian language.
