Gligorije Trlajić (25 January 1766, Mol (Bačka) – 28 September 1811, Harkov, then part of Imperial Russia) was a Serbian writer, poet, polylgot and professor of law at the universities of St. Petersburg and Kharkiv (Harkov). He is also known as Gregor Terlaic in German encyclopedias. ==Biography== Gligorije Trlajić was educated in Segedin, Buda, and Pesth, and studied law at the University of Vienna before he entered the bureaucracy in the department of justice in which he rose rapidly to be assistant to the solicitor-general in Vienna. His brilliant intellectual qualities attracted the attention of the Imperial Russian ambassador to Vienna; and he became private secretary to Prince Dmitry Mikhaylovich Galitzine (1721–1793). He soon became known as the most competent of the imperial officials. After Galitzine died, he was a private tutor to a Russian archpriest living in Vienna. Trlajić made numerous journeys abroad, but the most important being his 1796 trip to Russia to aid Emperor Paul I of Russia in the reconstruction of Russia's law on western lines. From 1801, Emperor Alexander I of Russia also began to lay the ground work for major law reforms. Alexander introduced ministerial reforms to supplant the collegial model of Peter the Great, accompanied by an expansion of the educational system, founding of new universities, and introduction of civil service examinations. There Trlajić taught the history of law and statistics at the Emperor's Pedagogical Institute (later Herzen University) in St. Petersburg. When the institute became a Law School he was made dean. In early 1811 he was invited by Vasily Karazin, founder of the University of Kharkiv, and appointed professor of the university's Law Faculty. Trlajić was fluent in Hungarian, Romanian, German, Old Slavonic, Latin, Greek, Russian, and French. Trlajić was not like some other Serbs who went to Russia, settled there and completely forgot about their roots. He would return on several occasions and maintained a lively national consciousness of his own. Here is a quote from a book: ''"Ja sam, veli on u jednom pismu, svagda ljubio slavno ime Srbin više nego zivot svoj, i starao sam se vazda, u koliko od mene zavisi, činiti mu čast."'' (I have, he said in a letter, always loved the famed name of Serb more than my own life, and I always took care, as far it concerned me, to do justice to it). Writing didactic works was an early and seemingly natural choice of occupation for Trlajić, though never an easy one. Trlajić died at Kharkiv on 28 September 1811 while still holding tenure at the university. He may be termed the Serbian Xenophon, as Dositej Obradović called him. In style and method his work somewhat resembles that of the ancient Greek author. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gligorije Trlajić」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
