Faust Vrancic (Faustus Verantius)
1551.(Sibenik) - 1617.(Venice)

A legendary (almost mythical) person of Croatian history, renneissance man, historian, politologist, inventor, writer and publisher. His most famous work is his parachute design, the "Homo Volans" (flying man). Another famous work of his is the five-language dictionary "Dictionarium quinque nobilissimarum Europae linguarum", one of the first dictionaries of that kind in the world. More about Faust Vrancic.

In Sepurine, next to the new church, is his summer house. His descendants, the Draganic-Vrancic, still live there.

Following his will he was burried in the church in Luka. The gravestone was recently renovated, and there are plans of putting up a bronze bust of Faust in the church garden.

There is a need to show the island's connection to Faust Vrancic, as a great man of both Croatian and Europaean history. For example, one year there was a model of Faust's parachute on display in Prvic Luka. Think about it, friends of Prvic, because any ideas would be welcome. Parachute jumping from the church tower, for instance. Faust Vrancic revival. Poster "Faust Vrancic on Prvic"
