He finished his Study at the Department of Historical Philology, at the High School, and elaborated his hilological knowledge in Saint- Petersburg, Moscow, Prague, Lajpcing and Vienna. He was a Teacher at the High School of Kragujevac, and at the First Belgrade Lycée, and Docent at the High School, where he was teaching Slavic Philology. He wrote Tractates about the Language, treated the Comparative Grammar, Slavic History and Macedonian Language. He collated a valuable material in the domain of Dialectology and Folk Art. The main Work of Sima N. Tomić is dedicated to Vuk S. Karadžić and Pavle Šafarik. He published important works in Periodicals of his time and edited the Bulletin «Nastavnik» («The Teacher»). He obliged the Librarianship with his tractate The National Library in Belgrade, published anonymously, which he wrote to call the attention of the Cultural Public on the importance and position of this most important Institution of Culture. After the too early death of Sima Tomić, in January 1903, his brother, Jovan, became Director of the National Library in Belgrade. Following brother’s Ideas and thanks to a great erudition and his great knowledge of Librarianship, Jovan Tomić succeeded, by his worthy ontribution, to raise the National Library in Belgrade to the level of Great European Libraries.

Serbian abstract

Sima N. Tomić (1866?-1903) je znamenita i pomalo zaboravljena ličnost iz srpske kulturne prošlosti. Završio je studije na Istorijsko-filološkom odseku Velike škole, usavršavao filološka znanja u Petrogradu, Moskvi, Pragu, Lajpcigu i Beču. Bio je profesor Kragujevačke i Prve beogradske gimnazije i docent na Velikoj školi gde je predavao slovensku filologiju. Pisao je rasprave o jeziku, bavio se uporednom gramatikom, istorijom slavistike i makedonskim jezikom. Sakupio je vredan materijal iz oblasti dijalektologije i narodnog stvaralaštva. Glavna dela Sime N. Tomića su posvećena Vuku Karadžiću i Pavlu Šafariku. Objavljivao je i značajne radove u periodici svoga vremena i uređivao list Nastavnik. Bibliotekarstvo je zadužio raspravom Narodna biblioteka u Beogradu, anonimno objavljenom, koju je pisao sa namerom da skrene pažnju kulturne javnosti na značaj i položaj ove najvažnije nacionalne institucije kulture. Posle prerane smrti Sime Tomića, januara 1903. godine, njegov brat Jovan je septembra iste godine postao upravnik Narodne biblioteke u Beogradu. Sledeći bratovljeve ideje i zahvaljujući velikoj erudiciji i odličnom poznavanju bibliotekarstva Jovan Tomić je, dugogodišnjim vrednim zalaganjem, uspeo da uzdigne Narodnu biblioteku u Beogradu na nivo velikih evropskih biblioteka.
