DIE WIDMUNG A US DER LANDKARTE KROA TIENS VON STJEPAN GEAVAČAUS DEMJAHR 1637

Jasna Marković

Abstract

The author translates the dedcation, written in the Latin language, which is situated in the upper left corner of the map of Croatia, made by the Jesuit Stjepan Glavač, aand gives real and lingual comments on the text. The map is dedicated to prince Nikola Erdody and the Croatian Parliament. The reasons of the origin of the map of Croatia are given (Glavač censures his predeces­sors and his contemporaries), the political circumstances in Croatia are dis­
cussed; Glavač talks about how he made his map and describes his sources and ideals. The dedication is gramatically and linguistically correct, written in the language common for his time, but it is no wonder because Glavač worked as a professor of the canon law at the Archiducal secundary school in Klagenfurt. The text above all proveses the great patriotism of its maker, because, as Glavač self said, he made this map "ureged by the great love for his Home­
land".
