Sažetak
The aim of this work is to analyze the methodological approach of the philologist Pavle Solarić (1779-1821). Solarić is known for his work on the origin of the Slavs and Illyrians and the Illyrian language and, more specifically, for his philological and etymological study of Slav history about which he wrote several works. These works are as follows: the preface to Vikentije Rakic’s Besjedovnik iliričeskoitalijanski / Il dialoghista illirico-italiano (1810); Pominak knjižeski (1810); Bukvar
slavenski triazbučni (1812); Rimljani slavenstvovavšiji (1818); Cenni sopra la lingua e letteratura illirica (1820); "Roda slavenskoga početak, razmnoženije, porode i izrodi" (manuscript); Istovetnost Skita i Sarmata, dokazana iz Pečaliji i iz Poslanija Pontiski P. Ovidija Nasona (1826). Methodology: A comparison and analysis will be carried out on a selection of textual and paratextual segments of Solaric’s work on the origin and geographic extension of the Slavs and the Illyrian language.
Results and conclusions: although Solaric’s approach to the origin of the Slavs is scholarly and consistent with the developments in philology of his time, his use of both distant and more recent etymology fails to resolve the historical and linguistic contradictions which his work purports to address. Solaric’s analyses of these contradictions, which focus on the term and concept "Illyrian", reveal the weakness
of his method and his main thesis, that all peoples descended from the Slavs and that the Slav language is at the root of all other languages.
