Abstract

Josip Voltiggi’s Grammatica Illirica (1803), annexed to a trilingual dictionary, is a practical handbook intended for foreigners who are learning the Croatian language. The external structure and the langauge described are a direct continuation of A. Della Bella’s and M. Lanosović’s Croatian language grammar books. The purpose of the Grammar, however, has determined the size of lessons and their character. Voltiggi does not tend to offer completeness of descriptions like the grammar books of his paragons, but tries to explain the basic morphological structure and a few conversational frameworks sufficient for basic communication.
