Abstract
This paper analyses Franjo Vuletić’s manuscript Slovnica jezika bosanskoga za srednja učilišta (Grammar of the Bosnian Language for Secondary Schools) from 1885, which was published in 1890 under the title Gramatika bosanskoga jezika za srednje škole (Grammar of the Bosnian Language for Secondary Schools). The authors examine the changes that occurred in the manuscript and the corrections made by Davorin Nemanić to Vuletić’s original Slovnica. To make it easier to follow Nemanić’s interventions, the manuscript is compared with the printed edition of the Grammar of the Bosnian Language from 1890. Given that Franjo Vuletić promoted Karadžić’s and Daničić’s linguistic views in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that the printed edition included linguistic elements of the Zagreb Philological School, the paper explores the extent to which the original manuscript aligns with or departs from the previous Croatian grammatical tradition. It also examines whether the Gramatika bosanskoga jezika can be considered a Croatian (Vuk’s) grammar, as some researchers classify it. Additionally, the paper discusses the cultural and political circumstances that led to the creation and publication of the grammar without the author’s name.
