Abstract

Croatian writer Matija Petar Katančić published in his collection of Latin and Croatian verse (Fructus auctumnales, Zagreb 1791) a few lyrics in which he imitates the style and verse of Serbo-Croatian oral poetry. Three lyrics from that group (Popivke narodne) are written in assymmetrical decasyllabic 4+6. Katančić was one of the first followers of classical metrics in Croatian literature. Indeed, he tried to use the principle of a regular exhange of long and short syllables even in his imitations of oral poetry.
