ŠULEK’S AUTHORSHIP OF THE BIBLIOTHECA ILLYRICA MANUSCRIPT

Ivan Martinčić

Abstract

Gaj’s legacy in the National und University Library in Zagreb contains the manuscript D. L. Gaji Bibliotheca Illyrica..., a bibliography
conceived as an appendix to Gaj’s unpublished work Dogodovština
Ilirije Velike (History of Illyria the Great). The manuscript has not yet been properly researched, although it is evidently major source material for the history of Croatian literature and Croatian history in general. There was some dispute concerning authorship between Bogoslav Sulek and Ljudevit Gaj and his collaborators. The issue still remains controversial; however, the data furnished appear to support Sulek's claim to the authorship, at least of the largest portion of the preserved manuscript.
