Abstract
The corpus old Serbian business and legal written sources was in the focus of several diachronic scholarly disciplines in the 19th century and it was gradually shaped through a series of publications, from the first and fundamental collection Monumenta serbica by Franc Miklošič (1858) to the series Stari srpski arhiv (2002) and Zbornik srednjovekovnih ćiriličkih povelja i pisama Srbije, Bosne i Dubrovnika (2011). In Đuro Daničić’s Rječnik iz književnih starina srpskih (1863—1864) an important place is given to materials from Miklošič’s publication. The historian Stanoje Stanojević presented a comprehensive study of this diversified and interesting set of topics in his Studije iz srpske diplomatike (1912—1936). Over time, the awareness grew that it was necessary to compile a comprehensive dictionary of the Serbian Slavonic language that would include a diversified corpus based on a direct insight into a large number of written monuments of different profiles. Its necessary part is the lexical fund from monasteries’ charters, a separate genre in which secular and religious spheres meet in a homogeneous diglossia: an auctor’s act of giving to an ecclesiastical institution expressed by the Old Church Slavonic language and the (high) style used by that institution, is in contrast to the parts of documents which are written in a lower style, in the folk language.
