Sergij Vilfan (5 April 1919 – 16 March 1996) (also incorrectly spelled as Sergej Vilfan), was a Slovenian jurist and historian, part of the so-called Ljubljana school of historiography, and member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. He was born as Sergij Wilfan in a wealthy Slovene family in Trieste, Italy. His uncle, Josip Vilfan, was a famous politician, lawyer and human rights activist. His cousin Jo¿a Vilfan became an influential Communist official and Yugoslav diplomat, while his other cousin Dra¿ko Vilfan was a renowned physician. Sergij’s father was a naval engineer and Yugoslav diplomat who moved around Europe because of his work, while his mother Ide Jeanrenaud was a French citizen. Sergij thus grew up in a bilingual environment. Besides Slovene and French, he also learned Italian, German and Serbo-Croatian since a young age.
