Abstract
The paper addresses the beginnings of reception of Jan Ámos Komenský’s work in Croatia, with an emphasis on the almost forgotten Croatian translation of this Orbis pictus book. The translation was published in 1842 as part of the second edition of Ignjat Alojzije Brlić’s Grammatik der illirischen Sprache. Divided into 82 paragraphs, this German/Croatian text is not accompanied by typical illustrations, which is, in addition to the fact that it was only published as a chapter in Brlić’s Grammar, the reason it was insufficiently noticed and failed to be mentioned in Croatian pedagogical historiography. The transcript of the German/Croatian text of Orbis pictus that we provide makes room for further research by experts in language history and pedagogical history.
