Toma Babić
Toma Babić (c. 1680 – 31 July 1750) was a Croatian writer and Franciscan priest living in Dalmatia (then part of the Republic of Venice). His best known work is Cvit razlika mirisa duhovnoga, popularly known as Babuša, which is a compilation of religious and philosophical poems and sayings initially published in 1726.[1] It was the second most read book in Croatian during the 18th century after Andrija Kačić Miošić's Razgovor ugodni naroda slovinskoga.[2] The work subsequently inspired Filip Grabovac's Cvit razgovora naroda i jezika iliričkoga aliti rvackoga (1747) and is regarded as a predecessor to both him and Andrija Kačić Miošić.[3]
