Abstract

Kućnik, written by Josip Stipan Relković, consist of 12 618 decasyllabic verses, 1781 left marginal notes (that is notes to the left border of the printed text) and 105 footnotes (notes at the foot of the page, under the printed text). Meaningfully and functionally indented, left marginal notes and footnotes are a way of reexamination of the author’s own decisions presented in the text, but also a kind of an instruction to the reader inadequately prepared for the reception of the text. Having in mind future readers, parallely with the basic text written in verse, Relković writes the left marginal notes - an accompanying prose component of Kućnik. The paper also deals with the content and structure of the left marginal notes, especially regarding linguistic features and synonymical relations appearing in the left marginal notes alone, as well as in the left marginal notes and the main text in verse.
