Abstract

In this paper words in the first two volumes of the Dictionary of the Croatian redaction of the Church Slavonic language (Rječnik crkvenoslavenskoga jezika hrvatske redakcije, 2000 and 2015) are analyzed that are not attested either in the Prague Old Church Slavonic dictionary nor in Miklošič’s Church Slavonic dictionary nor in the Academic dictionary of the South Slavic Academy. They are called rare words in this paper. The two volumes of the Dictionary contain about 2050 head-words each, among them we counted 306 and 262 rare words, respectively. Some of these words are not particularly significant from the point of view of historical lexicology, e.g. proper names from the Bible or derivational variants of frequently attested words. In the analysis special attention is paid to word formation and textology. Rare words from the Dictionary not known from other dictionaries nor from the contemporary Croat language do often contribute to a better understanding of the history of the language.

Keywords
