Biography
He was born on 21 March 1826 in Srezojevci, in the mining district. His father was the brother of Princess Ljubica Vukomanović.

After that, he returned to Imperial Russia to the University of Kiev, where from 1847 to 1850 he studied historical and philosophical sciences and became a Ph.D. candidate in 1851. In December of that year Prince Miloš Obrenović's decree established one more chair at the Belgrade Lyceum. It was the chair of "The history of the Serbian people and the literature of Serbia".

Why this record matters

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q99317374. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1826, 1859, 1840 and 1844.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
