Abstract

The paper considers the manuscript dictionary Vocabolario italiano-illirico, a practically unknown bilingual Italian-Croatian manuscript dictionary, written by Father Lovro Cekinić. He was a Franciscan friar, most commonly known as a collector and a scribe of works referencing Dubrovnik’s history and literature. The manuscript dates from the 1740s, and today is preserved at the library of Mala braća, a Franciscan Monastery in Dubrovnik. The author analyses the lexicographic method and describes the lexical treasure of the right-hand, Croatian column of the dictionary.
