The Croatian Manuscript (1564) of Juraj Vuković of Jastrebarsko in the Latin Missal of Klimpuh Parish
Alojz Jembrih
Abstract
In the literary records of Burgenland Croatia Juraj Vuković is noted for leaving behind a valuable legacy in the Croatian used by Croats of the Klimpuh Parish, (Klingenbach in German, Kelénpatak in Hungarian; part of Western Hungary at the time and today part of Gradišće/Burgenland). Numerous inaccuracies have been published regarding the manuscript in question and these have caused considerable confusion among Slavic scholars. This paper presents the Vuković manuscript anew, taking into account all relevant publications in Croatian, Burgenland Croatian, as well as German literature, and including necessary and justified critical comments. The introduction provides a historical overview of the arrival of Croats in Western Hungary in the 16th century.
