Biography
Radonić graduated from the University of Vienna, where he studied under the tutelage of Konstantin Jireček and Vatroslav Jagić, and attended seminars given by Karl Krumbacher in Munich. In 1905, he taught at the University of Belgrade. In 1948 he joined the staff of the Institute of History of the Serbian Academy of Sciences.
