Nikola Vulić (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Вулић); (Shkodër, Ottoman Empire, 27 November 1872 – Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 25 May 1945) was a Serbian historian, classical philologist, prominent archaeologist, doctor of philosophy and professor at the University of Belgrade.[1]

Biography

Born in Shkodër (modern Albania) in 1872 during the period of Ottoman rule, he left for Serbia where he studied Latin, Old Church Slavonic, Ancient Greek, and ancient history.[2] He graduated from the University of Belgrade in history.[1] For his post-graduate studies, he went to the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, where he received his doctorate. Upon his return to Belgrade, he was named professor at his alma mater. During World War I, Serbia's Minister of Education in-exile in Greece concluded that professors and teachers should be seconded from the army. Vulić was exempt from further serving in the army in 1917. In Clermont-Ferrand, he taught Latin to both Serb and French students.

He is remembered as the translator of Aeneid by Virgil from 1907 to 1908.[3]
