Abstract
The 1797 autograph of Josip Herović titled “Methodus” is a valuable historical source of information about the history of schooling in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is a translation (or rather a transcript of a translation) of the teacher manual “Kern des Methodenbuches, besonders für die Landschulmeister in den k. k. Staaten” into the Croatian kajkavian language. The manuscript has been kept in the Archival Collection of the Croatian School Museum. Some of the content and meaning of “Methodus” is partly known in Croatian historiography and its integral text was first published as historical material. The paper provides the context of the creation, a description and a summary of the autograph, as well as an overview of the teaching activities undertaken by its author Josip Herović, a teacher in Samobor (1780–1871).
