Fran Bradač

Bradač was born in Jama pri Dvoru. He studied classical philology in Vienna from 1905 to 1910, and then continued his education in Zagreb, where he received his doctorate in 1920, followed by further study in Prague and Berlin. He taught classical philology at the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Arts from 1923 until 1945, when he was forced to retire by the new communist regime.[2] Together with Josip Osana, he published the only grammar of Greek in Slovene to date. He also wrote a Greek textbook, compiled a dictionary of foreign vocabulary, and authored several dictionaries of Czech, Latin, and German. He translated a number of important Classical poems and comedies into Slovene, and he also translated material from modern languages, including Czech (Jaroslav Hašek and Karel Čapek) and German (Heinrich Mann, Erich Kästner, and others).[3][4]
