Loretana Despot ; Pedagoški fakultet, Osijek

Abstract

Matija Jakobović was a Slavonian Franciscan, and his Croatian-Latin manuscript dictionary from 1710 is very similar to Juraj Habdelić's dictionary from 1670, regarding its conception and the choice of materials. The article describes lexical similarities and differences of both dictionaries also finding out a certain number of words entered only by Jakobović but not by Habdelić.
Although Jakobović's dictionary is to a large extent very similar to Habdelić's considering the choice of materials, it is supplemented by his own choice of words as well as the choice of materials of Vrančić's and Mikalja's dictionaries. Therefore Jakobović's dictionary should by all means be listed among older bilingual lexicographical materials in manuscripts as his own authorial work.
