Abstract

The year 1873 in Mostar saw the publication of a book by Franjo Milićević, titled Lower Level Catholic Orthography in Herzegovina. The first spelling booklet published in Herzegovina is presented in this work, and it is based on the description of norms and rules, taking its roots from the Orthography of the Illyrian language by Josip Partaš, and leading towards the Illyrian notion of spelling and writing. The particularities of Milićević’s writings can be recognized by the ways of defining the principles of orthography, the proper and improper ways of spelling, the examples of indigenous toponymy, the choice of terminology, etc.
