Abstract
There are many printed texts and manuscripts in the Kajkavian literary language's history confirming its multiple functionality. There is also growing proof of the Kajkavian literary language's use in the works of Jesuit order authors in the Zagreb bishopric where their activities began in the town of Zagreb dating from 1607 till 1773. Their institutional seat was on Grič – Gornji grad (Upper Town) where they established a Jesuit monastery, organized courses/lectures – a gymnasium, and then they built St Catherine's church. Although the language used for lecturing in the gymnasium was Latin, Jesuits did not leave out the Kajkavian language from their communication and social activities. This is best evidenced by the presented texts of contracts concluded between them and the contractors on carrying out building and other works in St Catherine's church in Zagreb. However, contracts were also concluded in Latin and German. The texts selected hereby are those written in the Kajkavian literary language, and the intention is to display the functionality, the style and the lexis of that language in the 17th century.
