Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JIRECEK, JOSEF (18251888) , Czech scholar, was born at Vysoke Myto in Bohemia on the 9th of October 1825. He entered the Prague bureau of education in 185o, and became minister of the department in the Hohenwart cabinet in 1871. His efforts to secure equal educational privileges for the Slav nationalities in the Austrian dominions brought him into disfavour with the
German
 
element
 . He became a member of the Bohemian
Land
 -tag in 1878, and of the Austrian Reichsrat in 1879. His merits as a scholar were recognized in 1875 by his election as president of the royal Bohemian
academy
  of sciences. He died in Prague on the 25th of November 1888.
With Hermenegild Jirecek he defended in 1862 the genuineness of the Koniginhof MS. discovered by Wenceslaus Hanka. He published in the Czech language an
anthology
  of Czech literature (3 vols., 1858-1861), a biographical dictionary of Czech writers (2 vols., 1875-1876), a Czech hymnology,
editions
  of Blahoslaw's Czech grammar and of some Czech classics, and of the works of his father-in-law Pavel Josef Safarik (1795-1861).
His brother HERMENEGILD JIRE6EK, Ritter von Samakow (1827 ), Bohemian jurisconsult, who was born at Vysoke Myto on the 13th of
April
  1827, was also an official in the education department.
Among his important works on Slavonic law were Codex juris bohemici (11 parts, 18671892), and a Collection of Slav Folk-Law (Czech, 1880), Slav Law in Bohemia and Moravia down to the 14th
Century
  (Czech, 3 vols. 18631873).
