Abstract

In the Archives of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (HAZU) under the signature number VII-17 there is a Prayer Book from the middle of the 15th century which has as yet not been mentioned in Croatian philology. It comes from Dubrovnik and in this paper it is presented to the public for the first time. Its appearance and content is described as well as the most important graphic, orthographic and linguistic features. Special attention is paid to the reflex of jat, other language features are analyzed in relationship to their Čakavian-Old Church Slavonic protograph and the Štokavian basis of the speech of Dubrovnik. Specific Church Slavonic, Čakavian, Štokavian and Dubrovnik language features present in the text are discussed. In the end examples of the ADM text are quoted.
