Pavao Štoos
Pavao Štoos (10 December 1806 – 30 March 1862) was a Croats, Croatian poet, priest and a Croatian National Revival, revivalist. After graduating theology in Zagreb, he served as a bishop's secretary for a brief period, and from 1842 he was a pastor of the Pokupsko parish. Štoos is a notable person among Croatian patriots; as the author of a well-known elegy ''Kip domovine vu početku leta 1831'', collaborator of Ljudevit Gaj's ''Danica ilirska'', he clearly articulated his concerns over the foreign oppression and the de-nationalisation of the common people (''vre i svoj jezik zabit Horvati hote ter drugi narod postati'').
