Sava Tekelija (Serbian Cyrillic: "Сава Текелија") (born 1761, died 1842) was the first Serbian doctor of law, the founder of the Tekelijanum, president of the Matica srpska, philanthropist, noble, and merchant.

Life

Born in Arad in the Habsburg Monarchy (today in Romania) Tekelija studied at a Serb elementary school, went to a Buda Gymnasium, and studied law in Pest. He finished his studies in 1785, and became the first Serb doctor of law ("doctor juris") only a year later.
