Abstract
Prigodom devedeset godina postojanja a sedamdeset godina izlaženja časopisa Bogoslovska smotra, autor želi dati mali prilog boljem poznavanju lika i djela gotovo zaboravljenog a doista velikog i to na različitim područjima dr. Josipa Pazmana koji je umro prije sedamdeset i pet godina. U članku se govori samo o jednom vidu njegovoga djelovanja a to je da i Hrvati imaju dobar znanstveni teološki časopis. Naime, Pazman je pokrenuo Bogoslovsku smotru, nju je dugi niz godina s velikim marom uređivao, za nju se i materijalno brinuo, te u njoj pisao članke, rasprave, recenzije, prikaze.In the article the author discusses the beginning and the first publication period of the oldest Croatian scientific theological magazine Bogoslovska smotra as well as the role played in it by Dr. Josip Pazman (1863-1925).
Namely, after repeated unsuccessful attempts by the Professorial Council of the Faculty of Theology in Zagreb, as an editor of Katolički list - (Catholic Journal) he launched the magazine Bogoslovska smotra (as an integral part of Katolički List) in 1910. He lovingly edited the magazine together with Dr. Leopold (from 1910 to 1911) and Dr. Barac (from 1912 to 1918); in 1919 only two issues were published and edited by Pazman who was also Editor-in-Chief. After he had been unjustly imprisoned for political reasons, his manifold public activity ceased. Unfortunately, this spelled the end of the first publication run of Bogoslovska smotra.
In this magazine, he published many noticeable articles, disputes, notes, reviews and surveys. He also supported Bogoslovska smotra financially, and in his will he left a foundation for future times.
The author wrote this article to remind us of a priest, professor, scientist, publicist, translator, organizer, patriot, political activist, parish priest... Mgr. Dr. Josip Pazman on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of his death, the 90th anniversary of the magazine Bogoslovska smotra and the 70th anniversary of its publication history
