IMA LI SPLIT NAKIĆEVE ORGULJE?

Proceeding from the fact that the organ of the Split Cathedral was sold in 1901 to the Order of the Sisters of St Clare in Split, the author presents in this paper four previous assumptions about the builder of that organ. In the continuation of the paper, he provides a completely new slant on the technical data concerning the organ in St Clare's Church in Split. The data are the result of careful study, measurement and comparison and enable a reliable approach to the solving of two important issues: when the organ was built and who built it. By careful reading of papers to date and, above all, by detailed analysis of the instrument itself, the author proves the assumption that this organ is the work of the distinguished organ builder, Petar Nakić from Šibenik, and that it was built at the mid-18th century [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
