Abstract

The paper supplies further data for a biography of Milan Glavinić, such as information on his participation in the Balkan Wars and the First World War and his broad social and political activity. It also presents his published and unpublished texts on architecture, urban planning and art history, his 'Iskrice' (Sparks) and his texts on old Belgrade kept in Glavinić Family Papers in the Historical Archives of Belgrade. His texts on old Belgrade are based on his own memories, the memories and stories told by his father Kosta and other people, and the surviving documents. They describe Belgrade's houses, their owners, prices, particular city districts, the Elementary School by the Cathedral, the Big Stairs, restaurants, and sketch his urban planning ideas.
