Ivan Tomko Mrnavić
Ivan Tomko Mrnavić was a Venetian Catholic bishop and author of historical works. He was the author of several forgeries, with the most famous being that of the "Life of Justinian". He also wrote a book on the Life of Saint Sava.Views
Mrnavić believed that the Illyrians were Slavs.
He claimed that Skanderbeg, the national hero of Albania, was of Slav origin, which prompted Frang Bardhi to write a biography on Skanderbeg published in Venice in 1636 as a polemic against him, defending the Albanian identity of Skanderbeg.
