Sažetak
This work analyses the place of origin of the extensive manuscript collection of oral literature compiled in the 19th century and stored in Matica hrvatska under the name of the eminent Croatian cultural worker Đuro Deželić. As the manuscript does not state the exact place of the copying or the narrators’ names, the locality, as well as the copyists themselves, is sought through the analysis of the then Croatian territorial organization and through the language or dialect in which the oral lyric poems were written. It is assumed that Deželić or someone else in Matica hrvatska supplemented the existing manuscript when he received new copies from an individual copyist. The description and analysis of this oral literature collection reveal that it contains a large corpus of lyrical poems written in the Štokavian and Kajkavian dialects, and that the places of origin are related to central Croatia, whereas the Kajkavian part originated in the Križevci region. The research concludes that the manuscript was created by five different copyists living in several Croatian environments, and that Deželić himself most likely did not take part in the creation of that manuscript collection as a copyist, although 1877 he stored it under his own name in Matica hrvatska.
