Sažetak
The inglorious series of forgotten Kajkavian writers, completely or almost
completely unresearched, includes also Josip Vračan, who lived in the late eighteenth
and the first half of the nineteenth century as a teacher in Varaždin, a priest
in Ludbreg, and a chapter canon in Zagreb. The existing scholarly literature offers
relatively little information on his life, while his literary and linguistic activities
are described in passing and in a fragmentary manner by authors whose studies
are devoted to other topics. In order to deepen and broaden the knowledge of
Vračan's life and works, it is necessary to make him the focus of the analysis by
reassembling his oeuvre and by situating it historically. With this goal in view,
the Institute for Linguistic Research at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts has embarked on a project titled Filling the Gaps on the Past and Present
Kajkavian Map, where Vračan's multilingual corpus is one of the research topics.
This paper contributes to the topic by offering the results of recent archival research,
including new insights on Vračan's life and works as well as on the (multi)
lingual linguistic history of Ludbreg and its environs.
