Sažetak
The first reception of Mendeleev's periodic table of elements and its first mention and publication in Croatian chemistry textbooks is explored. First recognition of Mendeleev's work can be seen in the Croatian chemical community through the act of Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts which elected Mendeleev as an honorary member (1882). Julije Domac, a pharmacist, a chemist and university professor of pharmacognosy at Zagreb University published his textbook The Inorganic Chemistry for Senior Real-High School Classes (Zagreb, 1901) which is the first textbook written in Croatian language that includes the periodic system table. Gustav Janeček, professor of chemistry at Zagreb University, deserves the most credit for accepting and promoting the periodic system within Croatian chemistry. First university textbook of chemistry in Croatia Chemistry I, General, (Zagreb, 1919), written by Janeček, also includes the periodic table. Croatian scientific community accepted and understood the significance of the Mendeleev's periodic system of elements.
