Abstract
Alberto Fortis was a naturalist, researcher, and travel
writer who travelled along the eastern Adriatic
coast, from Istria to Dalmatia, researching and learning
about the Dalmatian coast and its local people.
One of his research projects resulted in a relatively
unknown manuscript Dissertazione sopra la pesca
della Dalmazia. This paper presents the copy of the
mentioned manuscript found in the State Archives
in Zadar and investigate its authenticity since there
are two other existing copies, one stored in Marko
Marulić Public Library in Split, and the other included
in Aldo Parenzo’s book Un’inchiesta sulla pesca in
Istria e Dalmazia. Furthermore, the paper includes a
digital transcription of the copy from the State Archives
in Zadar, which is also the first complete digital
form of the manuscript, as well as its orthographic
and morphosyntactic analysis.
