  • Postignuća Isusovačkih Leksikografa Dopreporodnoga Razdoblja
    FILOLOGIJA 58, Zagreb 2012 UDK 81'374:27-789.5 Pregledni članak Primljen 16.VIII.2010. Prihvaćen za tisak 24.XI.2011. Vladimir Horvat Fratrovac 40 HR-10000 Zagreb [email protected] POSTIGNUĆA ISUSOVAČKIH LEKSIKOGRAFA DOPREPORODNOGA RAZDOBLJA U ovom radu prikazujemo renesansnu Europu u povezanosti s isuso- vačkim humanizmom, jezikoslovljem i leksikografijom. Isusovci su sa svojim učenicima i suradnicima postigli brojne rezulate koji su velika postignuća i doprinosi svjetskoj i hrvatskoj leksikografiji. U Hrvatskoj dovoljno je spomenuti Bartola Kašića koji je udario temelje hrvatskom jezikoslovlju, a napisao i apologiju, jedan od prvih slavističkih tekstova. Uvod Isusovački red od svoga odobrenja u Rimu 1540. godine, uz dušobriž- ništvo, bavio se i misionarskim djelovanjem evangelizacije, i prosvjet- no-odgojnim radom na humanističkim načelima.1 Nakon prvog ekspe- rimentalnog izdanja Ratio studiorum o prosvjetno-odgojnim načelima g. 1586., slijedilo je drugo izdanje g. 1591., a treće i konačno izdanje Ratio studiorum — Isusovački obrazovni sustav objavljeno je u Rimu 1599.2 Dok se obrazovno djelovanje razvijalo u brojnim isusovačkim kolegijima pre- težno u Europi, misionarska se djelatnost razvijala u Indiji i Kini, Japanu i poslije naročito u Americi. Mnogi su isusovački misionari morali najprije učiti i proučavati dotad nepoznate urođeničke jezike, pa su zatim za njih sastavljali i prve rječnike i pisali prve gramatike. 1 Charles E.

Zagreb, 2004 UDC: 323.1(497.6)(091) Society, Ethnicity, and Politics in Bosnia-Herzegovina MLADEN ANČIĆ Institute of Historical Sciences, Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zadar, Republic of Croatia In his memoirs, general Sefer Halilović pays considerable attention to his part in preparing for Bosnian war during the winter of 1991-1992. Halilović organized and led the PL (Patriotic League), a paramilitary organization asso- ciated with the SDA (Stranka demokratske akcije – political party organized and led by Alija Izetbegović). The PL formed the core of the ABH (Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina), and Halilović therefore became the first commander of Bosnian Muslims’ armed forces in the summer of 1992.1 In the appendices to his memoirs, Halilović even included two documents pertaining to the SDA’s preparations for war in late 1991 and early 1992.2 In the first of these documents, would be general enumerated various tasks to be completed before the onset of war, including the creation of a military organi- zation and the identification of Bosnian communities according to their eth- nic makeup. “The ethnic structures of villages, local communities, urban and suburban neighborhoods are to be marked on maps,” the documents reads, “(Muslim and Croatian villages — full green circle, with a letter H adjoining Croatian villages, Serbian villages — blue circle)”. 3 In the second document, which is dated 25 Feb 92 — almost two months before large scale fighting broke out — Halilović defined the aim of the paramilitary organization he had just formed as protection of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Muslim population.

  • Linguistic Terminology Development in Croatian by the End of the 18Th Century
    Until the mid 19th century Latin was the official language of education on the territory of Croatia. The development of linguistic terminology in the Croatian language was based on the Latin terminology, usually as a result of translation (loan translation). The first Croatian linguistic terminology refers to the graphic and orthographic areas because writers needed to explain the spelling principles that were used when writing in Croatian, such as Bartol Kašić did providing notes on graphic issues and spelling in his religious works. Kašić was followed by Jakov Mikalja in his writings on grammar and vocabulary. The Pauline order (the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit) with their own university had a significant influence in the 17th century north-western Croatia, Istria and Primorje. Ivan Belostenec, one of the Pauline Fathers, compiled a great encyclopaedic Latin-Croatian and Croatian-Latin dictionary. The work was published in 1740, 65 years after Belostenec died, and in 1742 the Jesuits published another great Latin-Croatian dictionary, which was compiled by Andrija Jambrešić. Both these monumental lexicographical works abound in linguistic terminology. In the territory of the Kingdom of Dalmatia, Slavonia and Croatian in the 17th and 18th centuries, two variants of literary Croatian coexisted languages Shtokavian and Kajkavian and so, consequently, two parallel corpora of linguistic texts developed. In the mid 18th century the Empress and Queen Maria Theresa decided to regulate education in her empire, including Croatia. As a result of such a policy, the first two official linguistic manuals were released in 1779: ortographies of Croatian Kajkavian literary language and of Croatian Shtokavian literary language.

Svaki od ovih autora svojim je rječnikom uvelike doprinio razvoju kako kulturnog tako i nacionalnog identiteta, a budući da su nastali u doba koje je posebno okarakterizirala borba za vlastiti jezik, predstavljaju ključan izvor za proučavanje tadašnje jezične situacije. Posebnost rječnika ovih autora leži u činjenici da se većina njih opredijelila za pisanje višejezičnog rječnika, unutar kojeg su uvrstili jezike važne za hrvatska područja. Latinski

    journal of jesuit studies 2 (2015) 283-301 brill.com/jjs The History of Jesuit Libraries in Croatia An Overview Marica Šapro-Ficović City Library Dubrovnik, Croatia [email protected] Željko Vegh City Library Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide a historical overview of the Jesuit libraries in Croatia from their foundation to the present. The first known libraries were at Jesuit high schools, called “colleges,” established during the seventeenth century. This article deals with foundation of libraries at the Jesuit colleges in Zagreb, Varaždin, Požega, Rijeka, and Dubrovnik, emphasizing their role supporting education and the dissemination of knowl- edge. These libraries were witness to a strong influence of Jesuits colleges on the spiritual, educational, and intellectual life of many Croats. Highlighted in this respect is the famous library of the Jesuit school in Dubrovnik (Collegium Ragusinum). After the suppression of Jesuit order in 1773, the colleges were closed, and their libraries scattered and plundered. Nevertheless, many books survived. Portions of the collections of the former Jesuit col- leges are today an invaluable part of the patrimony of the largest Croatian libraries. Keywords Jesuits – Croatia – translation – Dubrovnik college – Zagreb college – Varaždin college – Požega college – Rijeka college – library history – old and rare book collections Introduction Jesuits arrived on Croatian soil in the mid-sixteenth century by invitation, shortly after the founding of the Society of Jesus.

  • “Expressing Croatian Identity Through Language Designations”1
    Croatian Studies Review 10 (2014) Diana Stolac: “Expressing Croatian identity through language designations”1 Diana Stolac Dept. of Croatian Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences University of Rijeka Rijeka, Croatia [email protected] Abstract This paper discusses different definitions of identity with a focus on the place of language in these definitions. The centuries-long study of the standardisation of the Croatian language shows that the notion of a national language is also a component of a group’s collective identity. This paper gives an overview of designations used for the Croatian language, from the first known records to those used in the 21st century. These records clearly show that in past centuries language was indeed a connecting link between Croatian areas otherwise disconnected from each other through administrative or other boundaries. Language as an indicator of identity is also apparent in reactions to some recent EU initiatives that have suggested that collective terms such as ‘Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian’ or ‘Bosnian- Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian’ could be employed to also encompass the Croatian language. Key words: identity, collective identity, individual identity, cultural heritage, language designations, Croatian 1 This paper is a revised and edited version of a conference paper presented at the Croatian Diaspora Congress, Zagreb, 23-26 June 2014, entitled Iskazivanje hrvatskoga identiteta nazivom jezika (Expressing Croatian identity through language designations).

  • Digitization of Older Croatian Dictionaries: a Possible Substratum for Terminological Neologisms?
    Digitization of older Croatian dictionaries: a possible substratum for terminological neologisms? Tihomir Živić, [email protected] Department of Cultural Studies, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Marina Vinaj, [email protected] Library Department, Museum of Slavonia, Osijek Dina Koprolčec, [email protected] Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, Conservation Department in Osijek Libellarium, IX, 2 (2016): 251 – 266. UDK: 025.85:004=111 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15291/libellarium.v9i2.284 Conceptual paper Abstract Considering that the present-day Croatian still frequently fails to have the exact translational equivalents for the novel ideas developed and disseminated via metalinguistic Eurospeak, the paper adopts and employs an unorthodox scientific method to refer to an articulated correlation between a conceptual framework theorized (i.e., the noninvasive library digitization projects pertaining to the select Croatian bi- and trilingual lexicography from the 17th to the 20th century) and the hypothetical questions addressed (i.e., their applicability to the coinage of Croatian neologisms that formationally imitate the previous paragons), with a pronounced tendency to signify a progressive replacement of the perplexingly anglicized language registers by the more decipherable formality levels. Consequently, such a succinct analysis results in a revalorization of the computerized conversion efforts and a permanent appraisal of the Croatian thesauri, which are neither antiquated nor obsolescent but may be incentively put into service for further similar studies in the subject matter. KEYWORDS: Croatian lexicographic heritage, digitization, metalinguistic neologisms (Eurospeak), systematization, terminology Introduction For two thousand years, a spoken and a written word have been a backbone of our lives and a witness to a historical progress of the humankind.
