Analyzing the dictionary titled Dictionar ili Rechi Szlovenzske zvexega ukup zebrane… published 1670, (Dictionary or Slavic words gathered together...) by a Jesuit Juraj Habdelic, the author of this paper tries to show the impact of this work by Habdelić on the process of standardization of Croatian contemporary medical terminology. The dictionary contains technical terms for body parts, body defects, major illnesses, common symptoms, medical procedures, medical instruments, for some profiles of medical staff and some types of medical remedies, and, very important, the list of terminology for particular medical disciplines, starting with anatomy and pathology and ending with symptomatology.
