Abstract
Until now it has been believed that no copies of the calendar edited and published in Budim by father Emerik Pavić were preserved. This paper intends to prove that the calendars for the years 1766 and 1769 were in fact his work. Their literary part is extremely interesting: prose and versed essays from Razgovora ugodnoga naroda slovinskoga by Andrija Kačić Miošić, and versed fables, mainly Aesop’s, and one by Fedrov. It hasn’t been written anywhere that Pavić poetically translated the fables, but it seems that this was the first Slavonic poetic translation of Aesop’s stories in verse, printed in the form accessible to the widest range of readers.
