Abstract
The military bilingual dictionary Terminologia Militare Italiano-Croata e Croato-Italiana (Italian-Croatian and Croatian-Italian Dictionary of Military Terms) was published in 1943 in Zagreb as a temporary edition co-published by the Ministry of the Armed Forces of the Independent State of Croatia and the Royal Italian Military Mission in Croatia. With this paper, the scientific community and general public interested in the history of Croatian lexicography, multilingual terminography, and the historical-linguistic development of the Croatian language are introduced to this work for the first time. This preliminary research discusses its discovery, provides basic information about the dictionary, and presents its fundamental terminographic features. Finally, in some Croatian equivalents, the dictionary is contrasted with equivalents offered in the manual Deutsch-Kroatischer Sprachführer für den Soldaten (Guide to the Croatian-German Language for the Soldier), its terminographic contemporary from 1943. The aim of this panoramic overview is to set the stage for its further comprehensive research, the results of which would be part of a larger corpus of the future historical dictionary of Croatian military terminology.
