Croatia Rediviva (translated as Revived Croatia, or Croatia Reborn) is a work by Pavao Ritter Vitezović published in 1700. Although the main intent of Vitezović was to prove that the borders of Croatia (back then part of the Habsburg monarchy) were originally considerably larger, it grew into a political program based on a separate pan-South Slavic identity, related to the rebirth of the Croatian national idea, called the Illyrian movement. It is Vitezović's best known historiographical work, which had an immense influence on the later Illyrian movement.
