Branko Radičević

Baptised Aleksije, Branko Radičević Serbianised his own first name before publishing. Born in Slavonski Brod in March 1824, he lost his mother, the daughter of a wealthy Vukovar merchant, at the age of nine; his father Todor, a civil servant, produced in 1847 a Serbian version of Schiller's Wilhelm Tell. The family moved to Zemun in 1830; he attended the gymnasium at Sremski Karlovci, studied philosophy at Timişoara, then law in Vienna, which he left after three years for the circle of Vuk Karadžić. He took up medicine again in 1850. Tuberculosis carried him off in Vienna on 1 July 1853.
