Sažetak
This paper explores the onymic data attested in the Latin verse epistolary
collections written by the Croatian polymath Paulus Ritter Vitezović (1652 –
1713). Given that they abound in vernacular onyms, both from Croatian and other
languages – in various grades of adaptation to the Latin language – the question
arises to what extent the variants were of practical use in the neo-Latin
context. Personal names and place names are the most frequent onyms in these
epistles, along with various forms of adjectives derived from them. Certain derivations
are based on alternative forms of the same Latinized or vernacular onym
by means of various Latin suffixes, some of them possibly the author’s invention
due to the lack of appropriate Latinized forms. The attested naming formulas
have been presented and the onomastic data systematised in order to demonstrate
the author’s attitude towards onomastics in the neo-Latin context. In addition,
the paper addresses the question of the interrelationship between Vitezović’s orthographic
solutions for certain phonemes of the Croatian language and his Latin
verses, as well as his ideas on prosody of the Croatian onyms inserted into Latin
verses.
