Tanja Kuštović
Abstract
The paper presents Josip Hamm, a scientist whose research significantly enriched Croatian
philology. Of particular importance are his studies of the Old Slavonic language, Croatian
Glagolitic script and dialectology, on the basis of which he wrote important linguistic
and literary treatises. In addition to the treatises on Glagolitic script, his grammars of the
Croatian, Polish and Old Slavonic languages are also presented, which at the time of their
creation were in many ways different from previous and future grammars. In addition to
his scientific research, his life and role in the founding of the Old Slavonic Institute, the
management of the Department of Slavic Studies in Vienna and the Institute of Slavic
Studies in Vienna are also briefly presented. He participated in the editorial board of even
nowadays important philological journals: Slovo, Radovi Staroslavenskog instituta, Wiener
slavistisches Jahrbuch, Jezik, in which he himself published scientific papers.
