Abstract

Father Lovro Cekinić (1692-1752), a Franciscan friar, is most commonly known as a collector and copyist of the works related to the history and literature of Dubrovnik, and an excellent preacher. The author analyses the family background of Miloradić family in Herzegovina and Dubrovnik, and attempts to highlight the origin of the new family name Cekinić. She gives an overview of Cekinić’s carreer within the Franciscan order.
Cekinić’s manuscript legacy comprises the History of the Franciscan province of Dubrovnik (Istoria e Privilegj dell’Osseruante Prou[inci]a di Ragusa), the History of the Republic of Dubrovnika (Istoria della Republica di Ragusa), two collections of Lent sermons, manuscripts with copies of Ragusan poetry, and translations. The author focuses her attention on the manuscript of Cekinić’s bilingual Italian-Croatian Dictionary Vocabolario italiano-illirico (~1745), which comprises about 5,000 lemmata. Its contents and methodology are compared to the linguistic and lexicographic efforts of his predecessors.
